   Ham Yard Hotel is an oasis of calm and excellent taste amidst the chaos of Soho. The afternoon tea was perfect in every way. Imaginative and so tasty. Don’t book a table for dinner unless you have a very hearty appetite. As with all Firmdale hotels, Ham Yard is imaginatively furnished and very stylish. Brilliant staff. Highly recommended, we will be returning next time we’re in London.

   Ham Yard Hotel is a really beautiful location - I have had afternoon tea there a few times. The food is lovely and it's good value, especially for London.

   Great ambience, lovely food, drinks service was very slow, wine arrived when I had virtually eaten the main course which let it down but the food was superb…

   A lovely evening in the company of friends, great ambience and beautiful food. My only complaint would be the prices of the wine & cocktails. Overall an expensive night out but a very special meal - the mozzarella & grilled peach was divine, as was the fish cake. I would definitely visit again for a special occasion.

    Interesting menu. Peach in the mozzarella starter was a bit hard though! Enjoyed the food. Mains took a while to come. Nice bar for before and after and very nice outside space but should all be booked before. Bar service was slow after dinner but staff all very pleasant. I would go back!

    The setting was quite nice, sitting in the courtyard, and much quieter than the bar/restaurant. The food was good (particularly the frites), as was the champagne. The staff were very helpful.

    My friends and I have dined at The Hamyard many times and always had a wonderful time. Unfortunately not this time. We waited over 25 minutes for our table after been told it would be 5 with no apology. They then sat us at the edge of the terrace away from most of the other dinners. We waited a further 15 minters for waitress to take our drinks order, and a further 15 minutes to take our food order. The menu was very limited for us are we are pescatarian. We were then moved inside and kept waiting for a table for drinks, after they had told our table was ready! The whole experience was very disappointing. We won’t be rushing back.

    Very disappointed. The hotel, restaurant, ambiance, staff were all great and have no complaints. HOWEVER!!!, the afternoon tea (last sitting at 4pm)was substandard. The sandwiches were warm, cheese one was vile.The slices of bread had holes in, crusts on and dry. Cucumber sandwich was literally 2 small slices of warm cucumber. Then the scones!!!! Burnt !!! Sent them back to be replaced with burnt plain ones. One positive, the cakes were beautiful and a great selection. I thought maybe we were the last sitting, we’d got the old tea, however people came in after and had better than us? Bill was £111, we had alcohol, and sorry to say I won’t be going back. Shame. £40 each is a great price for a tea in London, but I’ve eaten much better.

    Food wasn’t memorable unfortunately. It just seemed like a basic offering without the wow factor. I think I could have made the sandwiches more flavoursome. The savoury pastries were disappointing (flavourless quiche and odd seafood bite). Such a shame as this was a special occasion. Beautiful building, fit out though.

    Food was ok, the outdoor seating was amazing. However, the service was really bad. I was expecting a better service after the amount I’ve paid for the dinner. Didn’t exceed my expectations and I won’t come back anymore. I’ve waited long time for starters, main and coffees. I had to ask the waiter twice to bring me 3 coffees.

    Sadly the outside dining just did not have enough staff, waited in excess of 30minutes just for our cocktail to arrive. Things just got worse with 40 minutes to clear our table. Staff member tried to rectify the situation by giving us a number of free cocktails which went somewhat to redeeming the situation. I am an advocate for Ham Yard and this is the first time I have experienced the service issues.

    Friendly greeting, the service throughout the entire night can not be faulted. Our waiter at dinner was warm and friendly and the staff were constantly topping up our drinks and being attentive. Regarding food, this is where I've knocked the scoring down. We had a main with sides and dessert. The main (schnitzel, chips, spinach) was just alright, I can't rave about it as I've had much better for half the cost elsewhere... My friend thought the lamb was OK but again, not the best for the price they charge. Our desserts however were another matter - now I'm not fussy when it comes to desserts, I love cake but the cheesecake was inedible. I took a bite and was really unimpressed, I've never said this about a dessert, especially in a review, but it really was horrible. My friend couldn't even finish the bite she took from it (wanted her to try to ensure it wasn't my taste buds being weird!). My friend did, unlike me have the courage to tell the waiter we didn't like either of our desserts and he did ask if we'd like something to replace it with, which we declined so again, the service offered was great. He then gave us two plates of lovely tasty chocolates while we stayed at our table to finish a bottle of wine. Overall the cost was not worth it. It was overpriced for what we received.
