Great food and service. Note though that the brunch menu doesn’t really offer a saving, if we’d taken the same starter and main from the a la carte menu it would have been a fraction cheaper. I generally feel as though S&W got a bit pricey.

Great food, cocktails and wine. The steaks are the best about. Disappointed on service. We ordered cocktails and wine at the start, they came together and the waiter started pouring the wine before the starters arrived and before we'd even started our cocktails. We didnt get asked if everything during the meal was ok and they tried to charge for an extra starter. It did seem very busy though. We've been before but service not so good this time.

It has become so catered to children and babies it should no longer be considered fine dining. It’s understandable that children will be around, not a problem, but crying babies and children running around is not the atmosphere people want when you charge £100 for steak. Also, spread the tables around don’t continually seat babies by one table. I do not recommend, not worth the price.
