Excellent - and well priced - food. We had dinner here after a day's sightseeing in town. Excellent service; the 2-course for £25 was perfect. Wine menu was a little expensive, but I guess typical for the area. Really nice, smart, but friendly atmosphere. Would book again if in the area..

Had the pre-theatre set menu with my mum for her 70th birthday. It was perfect! The staff were friendly, the portion size was spot on, the food was super tasty. And they gave my mum a birthday plate with happy birthday in chocolate and a candle. It just made it extra special! My mum had a wonderful time and really felt they made an effort to make her feel special on her birthday!

Right across the street from His Maj Theatre. The service was excellent, attentive & friendly. The food was incredible. I planned to pop in for a bowl of soup before the show. I was encouraged to try the pre theatre menu, which I did. I'm grateful for the recommendation. Everything was delicious.

Absolutely perfect way to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday after watching The Phantom of the Opera across the road. Cosy ambience and food is excellent. I would come back for the slow-cooked pork cheeks - very tender and flavourful. Good value for money on the pre-theatre menu. But what sets it apart is the extremely friendly and attentive service! They brought out a special birthday cake and accommodated all our requests (and even threw in a chocolate cake on the house without us asking for it!) Special shout-out to our excellent server Nathan, restaurant manager Bruno, as well as Elina and Menal for going the extra mile! Top-notch service (and I don’t usually post reviews)!

I booked an afternoon tea for a special occasion. The service was friendly but very slow. After being seated the next time I saw the waitress was 40minutes later. The afternoon tea was ok. The tea itself was excellent but the sandwiches were dry and the scones were not fresh.

Fantastic Experience I recently dined at Haymarket in the heart of London and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of my experience. From the delicious food to the attentive staff and impeccable service, everything exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food was exceptional, and each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was memorable. I highly recommend Haymarket to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in London. It's hard to believe that in such a stunning restaurant located in the center of London, you can enjoy a three-course dinner for under £30. Overall, my experience at Haymarket was outstanding, and I can't wait to return. Keep up the excellent work! Best regards, Laura

I enjoyed my evening so much. The staff were amazing. They gave us a lot of information in regards to the menu and wines. The food was wonderful. I had the venison carpaccio and the Dover sole. My wife had the small risotto and pheasant schnitzel and claimed it was lovely. I wish the decor was a bit more modern but all in all I loved it and will be back soon.

We went for high-tea and brunch. The experience was excellent. Our waitress was so friendly and accommodating. I would say you can be very relaxed without feeling you need up-talk or get peoples attention. The food was great but not generous which I liked it was just right. The tea was splendid and fresh. I had a delightful afternoon with my family.

Wonderful! Friendly (not familiar), helpful and courteous staff who knew their job. We went for cocktails and a delicious dinner before the Theatre and loved it so much that we went back there after the Theatre for a nightcap. The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried. The decor was colourful, eclectic and tasteful. The all important lighting was a perfect balance of a relaxed atmosphere but enough light to see everything. Definitely worth many many visits and perhaps stay in the hotel next time. A delightful place. Oh! By the way Brumus is (or was) apparently the name of the owners dog. Sweet. It s not possible to recommend ALL of the dishes but our dinner was marvellous.

Wonderful food and wonderful staff - a pleasure as always to visit Brums. We enjoyed the set menu and had wonderful starters, farmhouse terrine and plum tomato soup. Then we both enjoyed fish and chips, with a bottle of Sauvignon. This is such a precious place to eat, such a wonderful location, beautiful interior with lovely staff. A bit of a hidden gem that probably deserves more love (and patrons) that it gets. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and myself went for drinks at Brumus Bar today evening. It was our first experience there, even though we didnt have a reservation the staffs were extremely welcoming and pleasant. Aimee was our waitress and she served us very professionally, attentively and with a charming smile throughout the end. She even recommended some cocktails which was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening at its best. 100% recommended. Must visit and have a very good time.

Spent £85 for 2 people on a 2 course meal which was the most boring meal out in a while. The tortellini and the soup would have been nicer had they come from a nice supermarket as a ready meal. The atmosphere was also not nice and the staff mostly seemed like they didn t want to be there and we were a bit of an inconvenience to them. I was sat on a bench which had its back to a service station which they kept slamming, sending shock waves through the bench each time. We won t be going back.

Food mediocre..our ceasar salad hardly any dressing & the raviloa also dry .. wine selection extremely pricey ,however nice suroundings but not value for money.

April 22, 2024

My wife booked a table there to have a dinner before The Phantom on the Opera. We have selected a set menu (2 course for £22pp). Its quite obvious, that if you have selected a set menu, that shouldnt takes long to cook it as the most of items are ready. We have spent 1 hour and 30 minutes there. Which is quite fair time. However, we have ordered 2 glasses of Chablis (very expensive white wine), that was so warm. Cesar salad was served like some one chopped wherever it was available and added £1 Tesco sauce on the top. Second meal we were waiting for 40 minutes!!! Seriously!!! That is not good timing for set menu. We have chaise our second meal several times. As the result, we have had our second meal overcooked (they kept it too long into heater or re-heat this one several times), mash potato was cold, fish too dry. They even havent offer a tap water. Ive ordered the second glass of wine and they couldnt serve it for 15 minutes!!! Very bad management and timing. All of this happened on our Wedding anniversary day (we are married for 25 years) and that evening supposed to me something very special. So, avoid that place if you dont want to be disappointed. Oh, the guest taken they desserts in a box, as the kitchen couldnt serve them on time as well. Manager offers me a special treat if we came back there again. No f......g way Ill return to that place even for free of charge!!!

I decided to take my Mum for a pre theatre meal here, as the pre theatre menu had good reviews. The decor and service was good but we were disappointed by our food. We both had sea bream as our main which was OK but we were surprised that the dessert was either victoria sponge cake, plum frangepane tart or chocolate fudge cake. We chose the chocolate fudge cake and the plum frangepane tart but the tart was still very chilled almost frozen and so we couldn t eat it so we asked for the victoria sponge cake instead. The cakes were nothing special and we expected something a little more exciting than a slice of cake as the dessert option.

Popped in without reservation before my visit to the National Portrait Gallery. Waitress and host were very friendly and polite. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere. I had lunch alone, but did not feel uncomfortable. Service was excellent. Although coffee was delicious I would rate Caesar salad as mediocre, however portion is very generous size. All in all would come back and recommend.

A review for my parents in law who had lunch with two of their close friends in January 2024: - staff were lovely and atmo was great - food was disappointing. Risotto was cold but tasted ok. The fish over cooked and tasteless. Vegetables were cold. - wine was £12 per glass: pricey for what it was - if the food was low-average price then it would have been acceptable experience but it was £130 per couple. My parents in law and their friends are used to eating out and happy to pay for value but they were shocked at the expense for such a poor to mediocre meal.

Its possibly the best cheese board I have ever been served. The whole team really made us feel very special. Our jackets were taken from us and placed in a wardrobe After paying our bill, the staff helped us to put our jackets back on. We will certainly dine here again. Faultless meals, fantastic cooking.

A friend and I had a wonderful afternoon tea at Brumus. When we arrived, the table was was already set and a drinks menu laid on top, ready for us to make our choices. The service was excellent, they were timely when checking on us, which tells me that the staff are observant and they seemed to know what we needed before we even asked. The food was delicious, the scones were still warm! The patisserie was as fresh as it cones and the finger sandwiches had varied flavours which were enjoyed. When we went the restaurant was quiet but I could see it becoming busier around 2pm so go earlier rather than later. The atmosphere was calming and romantic. All in all, an amazing day out! Dietary restrictions: The servers made sure to ask if we had any dietary requirements before we ordered our food. Parking: There is no parking for this restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has stepless access to the street and double doors which will allow any size wheelchair in. However there are 2 sets of double doors so a wheelchair user will need help entering the building.

We were there for late night dinner with my daughter in sunday. Just dropped in from the street with no reservation. We were warmly welcomed by the staff at once. I really felt they were happy to see us and wanted to help us in any way. All the food and drinks we had were so good. Well prepared, looked beautifull and tasted even better. The salmon I had was really good and the chocolate mousse with some coffee was a crown for the evening. The atmosphere in Brumus was very nice.

Stellar experience. My mom and I were visiting London and came across this lovely restaurant from the sign posted outside about Jazz night later that evening. We decided to ask for a table and although full the manager, Alin, was kind to take our name and mobile number and mentioned upon our return when ready to dine he would find a table to accommodate. We returned earlier than expected and to our delight his offer still stood and he offered us a table in the bar area close to the Jazz with the ability to still have dinner in that room. The waiter, Josh, was very hospitable, polite, professional, timely, and always with a smile. He was the kind of waiter you hope to have service you at every restaurant. I had ordered the steak well done and when it arrived, I took notice it was not well done at all. Considering how busy the venue was that evening and accommodating us last minute with a table, I managed to eat most of the steak. However, I noticed it was raw and then Josh appeared and noticed as well and was very apologetic. He took the steak and even though I asked to just quickly flash it no worries, he returned with two complimentary champagne glasses (one for me and one for my mom) to apologize and then returned with a whole new steak and fries. Just wow. Completely above and beyond. I was so impressed that I just thanked him over and over for his attention to detail, tipped him extra and also informed his manager Alin especially that its the holidays, review time, bonus time - Josh is a true example of the standard wait service should match. Thank you Josh and Alin! We will certainly return for a future visit. Good steak, good service, good music is a win win situation for a delightful evening. MANY THANKS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

We have enjoyed an excellent experience at Brumus. Shiva, our waiter, did a great job and made us feel at home! We loved the food and how we got treated - we can recommend it and hope to be back soon again.

Really fantastic service, which I would rate 5 stars. The food was ok, my main course lacked seasoning and a general punch of flavour. I had sticky toffee pudding which was divine.

December 22, 2022

Very disappointed in the food and the service for what was a very expensive meal. Food was bland and extortionately priced even for London standards. We were not even asked at the end of the meal how everything was to be given the chance to convey our disappointment. Bitterly disappointed and out a fortune for a sub standard meal in the city.

We had a lovely set meal before going to the Theatre next door for the evening performance. The staff were patient and attentive. The food was delicious with good size portions. Felt thoroughly spoilt in a wonderful setting. We enjoyed our dining experience.

December 22, 2022

This was a very disappointing Afternoon Tea - Service was shocking - a classic example of not caring, instead, a preference to rest on reputation and opt for ignorance Possibly the worst service I ve ever had at a five star hotel, where the maitre d was happy to argue the point rather than wanting to solve the issue. 1. Took take minutes to be serviced (had to ask for service) 2. Chip in glass 3. Delivered tea without identifying which one was which, when asked, maitre d said he d have to take them into the kitchen and smell which was which . 4. Finger sandwiches were stale - unbelievable l!!!!! Clearly left out in the kitchen 5. Maitre d simply was shocking - inability to be able to resolve, turnaround a poor situation and make it good. Really an awful service and very poor leadership. Very very disappointed in the Haymarket hotel for allowing their staff to represent them like that.

I was hardly impressed with afternoon tea at this location: food was decent but the experience was severely marred by the egregious lack of decorum displayed by the maitre d. I wore a mask so that made my words hard to hear but apparently not being clear enough in diction was enough for him to feel entitled to talk down to me; I am sure that he only felt confident to do so due to my age because, I assure you, there is no way such a patronizing manner would ever be tolerated in front of an older-looking adult. The lack of courtesy was appalling and was only amplified by his inability to look me in the eye following this incident; instead, he only ever deferred to my older friend. Furthermore, he left our table unattended quite often, instead choosing to cater to the other tables. I would however like to highlight Patty, a server who was both friendly and courteous; she made great conversation with my group and was overall a delight to meet. All in all, I would not recommend this location for afternoon tea.

The restaurant was lovely but service not good for the price. We were never asked for more drinks, we had to wave down the waiter to get another one. Asked about a good compliment wine and no knowledge about the wines was given. The gluten free bread wasn t good - it was supermarket bread. The schnitzel was very mediocre- however the fish was good. Not a whole lot of choices but overall a fairly decent menu, but again for the price, not really worth it. Cocktails were very nice but we won t be back here for a meal.

Things were surprisingly quiet for a Saturday morning in Central London but we were lucky to find this charming place attached to a hotel. The menu is perhaps not the broadest and the portion sizes slightly smaller than in a cafe but the staff are absolutely lovely and really make you feel at home.

Delicious dinner. Love the Kit Kemp design and beautiful napkins and plates. Service (perhaps post pandemic) is spotty at best. I knew that if I ordered dinner before my Negroni arrived that dinner would arrive first - so I kept my order a secret. (The Negroni took 15 minutes to arrive). Waiter told me the halibut was served with asparagus. It wasn t. When he cleared my plate I asked him (somewhat sarcastically) what that extra plate and knife was for. He replied it was for bread and butter if one wanted it, which I was never offered. (I didn t want it, but this is so basic). My tip: manage the wait staff with courtesy, but tell them the run of show and be clear about your expectations. If you are not interested in being assertive, you may want to consider going elsewhere. If you can manage the wait staff then you will have a lovely dinner in an aesthetic delight. And don t sit too close to the bar. The music isn t synchronized so you ll get jazz in one ear and something more upbeat in the other ear, which could make some diners anxious.

Had the Festive Afternoon Tea here with a large group (8, including a toddler). The team were extremely accomodating (high chair for the toddler, also made amendments to the booking on the day). Service was excellent - attentive yet unobtrusive, with a bit of good humour from one of the younger male waiters whose name I unfortunately didnt manage to catch. Tea was £29pp - a more affordable alternative to the classic London options that are more than double the price but not twice as good as here! Decor was quirky and unique (Kit Kemper); the restaurant itself was quiet (Friday afternoon), making it suited to having conversation easily with those beside me.

Breakfast experience - staff attentive and friendly but more education with inexperienced staff needed.

Expensive for the quality of food served.

Upmarket but relaxed. Attentive but not ott staff. Everything spotlessly clean. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. The best I have ever had. Chips were crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and perfectly seasoned. Fish was fresh with tasty batter.

I loved Brummus for its casual elegance. The service was low key but special and our afternoon tea was exceptional. We had a superb cocktail to kick start our afternoon and sat and chatted and giggled all afternoon without feeling as if we had overstayed our welcome. This was my first visit but was accompanied by a friend who had been many times and she said it is consistently good. Dont hesitate to book.

Remarkable experience, delicious dining, profesional staff and elegant decor. The food was also reasonably priced (we went with prior booking with Open Table and their set menu) but ala carte looked sane as well. There was one issue with our food, still very tasty, and I must admit that the manager handled it extremely professionally. I was positively surprised by the quality and quantity of food. They also have some sitting outside area which must be incredible when the weather is pleasent. It is a perfect place for a date or special celebration. Pictures include: chicken, broccoli soup and pear-pistachio cake.

We were a group of 11 for my friends hen do. Lovely atmosphere/setting but for the price of £26 wasnt expecting dry sandwiches and scones that I couldnt eat as were too dense and not light and fluffy.
