The Great Court At The British Museum

Food is not at par with decorum and fancy naming. For example the Norfolk free range chicken (title in bold), leek mushroom pie ... Guess what? It 's a pie with some chicken and leek and mushroom. Poorly cooked from frozen. Unless they forgot to serve the chicken that day? So in summary food is terrible (safe choice: cheese board, nothing can go wrong there, it was decent and the best dish we had) but the location is very very nice, and relatively quiet, which is definitely on the plus side.

Food very average , service was terrible. The young lady who was serving us had no idea what to do , she didn't speak clearly so was difficult to hear, offered no response to our requests and was clearly in need of instruction in regards to how to deal with other humans. My wife is gluten free and the choice is very limited on a limited menu. We have been before some years ago and it was great, not sure what's happened but improvementnis required as it was the best part of £90 for lunch for two adults and a child.

Booked the afternoon tea as all other hotels etc serving were fully booked. Sandwich bread was dry, like they had been made in the morning and sat there all day waiting to be served. You really can't make sandwiches fresh? Not that hard. Absolute shocker. Scones are served cold but at least were edible. Didn't even try the sweets but they probably aren't fresh either. Not worth the £30 pp charge. Go elsewhere for afternoon tea.

We booked a table for 1pm because we wanted to guarantee eating early and leaving early as we had a visit in the afternoon. Well, we nearly missed it because the service was horribly slow. We had to ask for the bill twice and when it arrived, it was wrong because the 2-course menu offer hadn't been applied to it. On the other hand, I have to say that the food was good. However, I won't go there again.

We were going to the New Year's Eve lunch at BM with some shyness. There were a lot of visitors and customers. A table was found for us very quickly. The menu is not extensive but it's easy to choose something for yourself. The service is quick and kind. The kitchen delivers the order quickly. Everything beautifully presented and tasty. To be honest, we left the restaurant fully satisfied and full. Thank you for a wonderful meal and we wish the chefs and staff a Happy New Year.
