Happy
Monday folks. What a beautiful Bank Holiday weekend it has been and a nice way
to ease us into the 4-day week.
I have
had a very indulgent past few days because what Bank Holiday would be complete
without gorging on all the de
First
things first, we need to talk about the beautiful interior of Soho House and
Sydell's group opening. The Ned used to be home to Midland Bank and is now the
latest trendy hotel to be seen at; with a rooftop pool and 9 restaurants there
is something for everyone. Designed by the late architect Edward
"Ned" Lutyens it really has kept the history and character and at the
same time being effortlessly cool. On Sundays, Millie's Lounge offers the
Sunday Feast, an all you can eat buffet for £35 with seafood, roast dinner, antipasti, salads and dessert there is endless amount of choices - more on this later...
The
dining area is vast and I understand this puts pressure on the staff to ensure
people are sticking within their 2 hour allotted time slot, however this tended
to make some of the staff quite cold and unwelcoming - particularly the
hosts/hostess who walk around the dining room with iPads checking off what is happening
in the dining room. That being said we did had a lovely waitress who was
friendly and attentive. What made up for the cold atmosphere the hosts
created? The live music! It felt like I had gone back in time; it was
wonderful! Classic jazz standard's were played beautifully and every 15 minutes two flapper dancers performed making me feel like I
was at one of The Great Gatsby's' Parties.
The Ned pride
themselves on the food being fresh and replenished often. I really do think you can
get your monies worth, however, you must go there with an appetite, we didn’t
eat breakfast and I don’t regret that. On arrival I ordered a Mimosa and a bar
cart was wheeled over and my drink was made in front of me. Fresh orange juice
and Perrier Jouet Champagne was the perfect way to start this feast off. I
ended up having around 6 courses of food and rather than bore you with
everything I ate, I am just going to share some snaps below. One thing that you must try whilst you are there are the Deviled Eggs.
I wasn’t wowed by the food, I think you get a lot
for you buck but overall I would say it was pretty average and nothing to write
home about. I wouldn’t go back for
the Sunday Feast however I would like to go back to try out one of the other restaurants
and potentially see what it would be like to stay as a guest.
For the overall experience, I would recommend you
to go, but go for the atmosphere rather than food!
Sunday Feast @ Millies Lounge form £35, 12:00 – 5:30pm.
