Cellarium - Carte

This is one of the stops I'd been looking forward to for months.

It's not really a breakfast place but does serve some breakfast foods. It's more like a place you come to eat for the scenery, and not for the food..

We sat upstairs in the terrace and it's a nice cafe, shame they didn't use bigger windows for a better view of the abbey, presumably that's why most people Voir le carte

This was a special find. Breakfast inside Westminster Abbey! Fabulous service. Classic breakfast. Not many breakfast options around the area we thought we would walk across several.

Average food, poor service, miserable staff. Don't bother! No milk with our tea, I asked but request ignored, ended up going to the kitchen myself, handed milk with no apology. Staff had not a smile between them!

The service at the restaurant was lacking. Customers who arrived after us received their drinks before us, and when our food finally arrived, it was not what we had ordered. The mistake was corrected promptly and with apologies, but it was disappointing, especially since the incorrect dish was clearly not a main course. Voir le carte

Had the special with the sandwich of the day (27.00 for two) and glass of white wine was 4.00. Coke was 3.00. Atmosphere was ok; I was hoping because of the location it would have been something more special. If you need the washroom you have to wait in line with all the others that have gone on the tour. If you want a good table, book ahead!

Very enjoyable lunch in the upstairs part of Cellarium (worth booking an upstairs table). I had the wild mucshroom and tarragon fregola which was delicious. Ambiance is relaxed, the room light and airy with unusual roof scape of Westminster Abbey. Service was hit and miss. Despite me booking, there was no acknowledgement of this, order taking slow and general lack of attentiveness. This wouldn't stop me going again, but it's a shame for a hidden gem in Westminster.

A clean basic source of refreshment. The (cold) scone, Ronda clotted cream and Tiptree jam was identical to what is available all over the country, but usually much cheaper. OK there were 2 scones, but that just left spreading the jam and cream very thinly. A bit dry in fact. No complaints, just normal, run of the mill. All clean and tidy. Pleasant staff. But nothing special. Incidentally you wait to be seated, resulting in the 2 of us being sat on a table for 6, and consequently having a lovely chat with 3 elderly ladies from Norfolk. It sort of underlined what a typical visitor was. Voir le carte
