      Hey Harrison an idea maybe hard to pull off but if you’re able to do comparisons of private London golf clubs restaurants… I’m sure there’s a way in without a membership ie being a plus one with someone… to be honest I’m not sure how many there are in London… but be interesting to see seeing how much the membership is and the waiting lists are for some and how the restaurant really is for the price….use to work in one that’s why I’m curious. Anyway just an idea

    I was expecting it to be far more expensive. Our local chip shop is now over £30 for fish for 2. Not even close to the quality of what you’re eating here. Eating out in substandard takeaways has gotten so expensive that high end food like this seems a lot cheaper now. Cost of living has changed the game!

    Been there before, I vaguely remember it was 65 quid with 20% service change, that alone is fine, reasonable even, I bet that place make it by selling drinks, drinks are really expensive, and no, not just alcohol, even standard stuff is exorbitant.
    All that being said, minus traveling there is a little bit annoying, it is a very good experience, honestly I think you should stick to drinking water too, quality of food is good enough to justify not letting your drink to change its flavor.

    I used to live in the UAE where brunch was a ''thing'' and have sampled bottom end to high end, the best one we found was one that had the live cooking stations, scallops, foie, wagyu etc and all in was around £85 a head, had one that was nearly £200 a head and was one of the worst.....so £65 during the week for what was on offer is stunning value - the key is having items cooked to order and being very selective as to what you have.
