Fortnum & Mason The Parlour - London

Solo travel has many advantages and one of them is that quite often you are able to get seated rather quickly (as long as you are happy with a seat at the bar), I only had tea and carrot cake, what a cake it was. It was huge and delicious one of the best it was. Tea was very tasteful as well.

Normally I go to a restaurant in London and am shocked by how expensive it is. This time i was shocked by how good value it was. I assumed that any meal at Fortnum would be hideously dear. This one wasn't. The Welsh rarebit is a nice satisfying plate costing just 10 pounds. Ice creams are really well priced and excellent value. Service smart and excellent. We weren't hurried out of our seats despite visiting on one of the busiest Saturdays of the year. All in all pretty good.

Food was lovely, I had a scotch egg and my sons had make your own sundaes! But more than this the atmosphere was lovely for the kids, like an upmarket American diner and the staff were wonderful with my sons! We will return!

Our first stop on our 2 day trip to London was at The Parlour in F&M’s for a delicious breakfast of coffee and bacon sandwiches on toasted sourdough delicious! The bacon had so much flavour, the homemade sauce was fantastic, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our quick “pit stop” at The Parlour before spending time in store shopping. Highly recommend.

Excellent service at F&M 's first floor eaterie The Parlour . Arriving during a busy lunch service, I was politely welcomed and seated, and the menu presented. The Americano coffee arrived promptly, complete with a complimentary teeny ice cream cone, followed later by the freshly cooked Chicken Schnitzel and accompaniments. Lunch was delicious, and the service exemplary even my water glass was refilled without having to ask. I would definitely recommend The Parlour.
