Holborn Dining Room

Prawns - excellent and fresh. Their famous pies - good but nothing life-changing. The crust needs work. The filling is amazing. The place wasn't too crowded for a weekday lunch but there was still a good number of people to make the place feel lively.

We visited for Sunday Roast and were disappointed by both the food and service. The dining room felt dated, and the food was underwhelming for the price. However, the service was the biggest issue. After being seated, we waited a long time before anyone came to take our order. We eventually had to ask a different member of staff for assistance because our server was nowhere to be found. What made the experience particularly frustrating was watching nearby tables receive regular attention while we struggled to get basic service. Throughout the meal, it often felt as though our table had simply been forgotten. I don't mind paying premium prices when the experience matches the cost, but unfortunately that was not the case. There are many better dining options in London at this price point.

Great location however the food was average at best, we tried initially to just have a drink and relax, however every 5 minutes prompted are we ready to order (place was quiet as you’ll see in my photos) items we ordered didn’t turn up, so when we flagged this eventually appeared about when we had finished eating, wine had been clearly opened for a while so tasted of vinegar, Guy who served us was disinterested to say the least. For a meal of 4 people, £373 I’m not sure I would recommend this place.

Had an incredible Beef Wellington dinner on Wednesday. The service was impeccable, with so much charisma from every member of staff. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was both soothing and beautiful. The meal was exceptional, and the bread and butter were the best I’ve ever had - I can’t wait to go back for more!
