I went to Sangria for a friend's birthday and had read some pretty awful reviews so I wasn't expecting great things which is good as it's pretty mediocre and certainly lived up to its poor reputation.

The food itself was ok-but nothing out of the ordinary. Some dishes were bland, some dripping in oil, some lukewarm and some just nothingy. The paella they served was possibly the most tasteless thing I've ever eaten. There was just no point to eating it.

However, the food was the good part of the experience! The staff were woefully disinterested in actually waiting on their tables. It took me 6 requests to get a glass of lemonade, including my walking to the bar where the barman refused to pour it for me as my waiter had not asked him to. I then asked the waiter again and he blamed the barman. They said they would leave if off the bill and then didn't. Of course.

Service was haphazard, slow and at times rude.

There are many many restaurants I would far rather go to again than this one. Avoid at all cost.

I visited the Athenaeum Hotel for their afternoon pink tea for a friend's hen party recently and we had a great time! The pink theme makes it slightly different to all the other London hotel afternoon teas as you get the usual tea and cakes plus pink sweets like jelly beans, candy canes and marshmallows and a glass of pink champagne which makes it extra girly-if that's your thing of course!

The sandwiches, scones and cakes are so plentiful that you'll never want more than you can have and the staff are friendly and chatty.

The perfect place to take your Mum for an afternoon treat.
