I have been meaning to dine here.
Finally made it, sadly many years later when the place is surrounded by new builds etc.
The menu is slightly more modern as I could not find roe on toast nor have I seen it posted on their google reviews or recent social media posts by diners.
Anyway, the plaice was sold out so had the prawn cocktail and potted shrimp as planned.
The potted shrimp was the best ever, sweet seasoned brown shrimp with a lovely moreish spiced golden butter on top.
The prawn cocktail tasted just like mums and served in that nostalgic glass and silver bowl with silver cutlery.
As for the ambiance, it was amazing, I loved how it is mostly the same from 1889.
At the reception you have this gorgeous booth and then you have traditional brollies hanging on the wall.
I felt like I was in a Bond movie served by this waiter who is part of the movie with Roger Moore.
I fell in love seats on the corners where one would have to go under the table to sit there.
Will be back because I love the traditional desserts served with custard or cream!!
