Made reservations, showed up - our waiter was great. And then they informed us they were out of probably 85% of their menu. You could have steak or steak tartare. 😳 very disappointing.

Food was great but when I booked I was given a choice of bar or restaurant but when we arrived we were put in the bar which was busy and noisy and cramped. I was told they sit people where they can depending on how busy they are. That's fine if you're aware.
The Alfred Tennyson Pub BelgraviaResponded on January 5, 2025
Dear Bill, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry that your seating experience did not meet your expectations. We always aim to accommodate seating preferences as best as we can, though this can be influenced by how busy the venue is at the time. That being said, we completely understand the importance of ensuring our guests are comfortable. For future visits, please feel free to request a table in the first-floor restaurant when booking, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. We truly value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for an even better experience next time.

Service was great, but the food wasn’t prepared. Two ordered the beef cheeky that wasn’t flake, fall apart, it was very tough. Chip cold, and with a new batch; they were undercooked.

It was always our London go to, no more. Food was bad, cold, poor quality. Sent one item back. Clearly the current cook staff has no clue how to prepare quality good food. It’s ashamed since the location and setting is so nice. Don’t waste your money here. On a positive note, our server Ellie was wonderful and apologetic for the poor quality of the food.
The Alfred Tennyson Pub BelgraviaResponded on December 19, 2024
Dear Steve, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t meet expectations. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and we’ll be addressing your concerns with our kitchen team immediately. We’re glad Ellie provided excellent service, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her. We deeply regret disappointing you and that your experience fell short of our standards.
