Beautiful food, buzzy atmosphere, great service at the table.

Great ambience, the food is amazing and the staff are superb!!! I love this place !!

Good place for a quiet long lunch to celebrate a birthday. Food was good and very friendly professional service

Need a civilized enclave away from the madness of the West End? If you stick to the set menu at Ham Yard, you'll get reasonable value too. Great staff, good food, gorgeous spacious setting. The drinks are rather overpriced though. There's a dry house white for £13.00 (which I didn't personally like) but anything other than that by the glass is upwards of £23. I think that's too steep, even in today's economy. I'd have liked a medium wine but was not prepared to pay £30 for one glass. Also, the set menu is advertised as being from 12pm to 6pm and 9pm to 10:30pm. We booked for 9.45 but initially were told the set menu wasn't available, although we did have it in the end. The staff were lovely about it, but it seemed a bit off. Having made those few criticisms, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place as a haven from the madding crowd and with the most divine puddings, if your purse can take it....

We were there maybe over a year ago. The food is excellent and service quite outstanding, special mention for Mery who was attentive but not intrusive. Everything was served at appropriate and timely fashioned. Thank you "The Shell". The only negative is that they have not updated the food and drinks menu on opentable.
