    The new menu is such an improvement over the previous small plates one. I had the Bouillabaisse and it was superb. My companions had the pasta and also really enjoyed it. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Only shame is the lack of the fish and chips, that was always a favourite, would be good so see it return for dinner.

    I have lunch here every couple of months but this was not the best experience I’ve had of BAFTA. Despite having made my booking for two about six weeks ago my allocated table was probably the least desirable and I was told that all the others were reserved - though some remained unused throughout the four hours I spent there. Hard wooden chairs were uncomfortable, though better ones were at several tables nearby. With so many plush and comfortable tables close by it felt very much a second class option. Service was good and friendly, but my main course - a Caesar salad with chicken and anchovies - was a bit of a mess and certainly not worth its price. By contrast though my baked croissant as a sweet was delicious. The wine is generally overpriced. I’ll come again because lunch guests seem to like the idea of eating at BAFTA but next time I’ll probably book by phone and ask for a decent table.

We’re sorry to hear that your recent lunch did not quite live up to your previous experiences at BAFTA, although we’re pleased to hear that you found the service friendly and enjoyed the baked croissant. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the table, seating and your meal, as well as your comments on the wine. We have made a note of your feedback and will certainly keep it in mind, with the aim of ensuring that our guests are always given a comfortable and enjoyable table, good service and experience as a whole. We’re pleased that you’re planning to return, and we look forward to welcoming you back to us soon.
