Excellent Thanksgiving meal. An extended lunch offering available until 6pm. Great value for a festive meal. Saves all the hassle of preparing a turkey and all the sides.
A little gem! Lovely atmosphere with great service. Enjoyed the food with family. Highly recommended, will certainly revisit
Brilliant afternoon tea! Honestly was so impressed with how lovely our visit was this afternoon. For 35 each for standard afternoon tea in Central London this was incredible value, the food was delicious, really good selection and they provided vegetarian options. The service was so nice and friendly but not over the top, wish i'd taken the girls name as she was fantastic, they gave us a detailed description of each item in the meal and as it was quiet let us stay long after our booking slot checking on us here and there to order drinks. We stayed for an extra round of cocktails in there as its a very calm vibe with low background music, perfect for a catch up with friends. Cannot recommend more for afternoon tea or even drinks as it's so hard to find nice places that are in Kings cross and not super loud /packed/ or crazy expensive. It was quiet in there for a Saturday, which is a shame, I feel like more people should know about this place, but we didn't mind that at all. Also there are lifts to the restaurant and an accessible bathroom. Highly recommend *****.
Great decor, and great location. Lamb portion is big, but very tasty. The fat part is grilled well (not greasy) and enriches the flavors of meat very well. I ordered medium, and it is exactly what I expected.
Oh My! My bestie took me here and she swept me off my feet with the place, decor, and food! I was indulging in every moment and not just the food n drinks. Lovely ambience for Sunday lunch, spacious and full of different seatings including booths. Also little sectioned areas of coffee / drinks rooms as you walk down the corridor. Amazing setting and place. Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back.
Fantastic English breakfast! I actually booked this hotel because of the nice reviews of the breakfast here, and it is great indeed. Everything is perfect, especially the spiced sausage and black pudding. Nowadays most of the so-called full English breakfasts don’t even include black puddings and it’s my first time trying it. I almost asked to bring the marmalade home but decided not to be Paddington Bear last minute. (Sorry for the food waste.) May the super friendly staff have a wonderful and prosperous new year — By the way, the brownies in the hotel pantry are actually good! Feeling addicted… is this heaven? Next time I should probably request a room further from the pantry to do some exercise on my way to snacks.
Fabulous place inside the Great Northern Hotel, in Kings Cross St Pancras. We went for a delicious afternoon tea that was simply amazing and great value. Furthermore, the service from the host and the waiter was really good, very attentive and welcoming.
A cool stop on a warm day. Tucked neatly alongside of St. Pancras, this is a gem of a spot. We were there for coffee and a meeting, but the coffee was the main topic. Beans roasted to perfection, grinds that were made for the King, and the perfect pour. Coffee service that was unlike any I’ve ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and make this the destination and not just a whistle-stop.
