What a gem of a find! Tucked away in Hatton Garden, we went for a pre-event birthday lunch and was more than pleasantly surprised. The food was good but it was the staff that made it standout. They were really friendly and very accommodating and it made the whole experience really special and memorable. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.
