Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings

The brunch here was a bit disappointing in terms of portion size and presentation. For the price and type of place we expected better. We had the English breakfast and vegetarian and all looked like canteen like presentation wise. It was good but felt very ordinary and simple vs the price. The decoration and vibes is great with a uniqueness that you can enjoy and see. It's the perfect place for brunching as the space is big and you can also have bottomless brunch. The staff was very nice. Though it is quite loud music wise

I came here for a friend’s birthday do, and we were sat in the upstairs private dining room The atmosphere here was great and perfect for a group of friends. The dining room was really bright and airy and it was nice to be sat around a big square table as a group of 12 or so, so much easier to chat to people than being placed on a big long table like most places. The food was fine. Nothing to write home about but the bottomless drinks option naturally went down exceptionally well and the drinks were really delicious. What stood out for me was the lovely person looking after our table. She was really patient with us and was quite fun: she gave us great recommendations and was super attentive, and I know how taxing it can be dealing with a large group of tipsy women on a sunny Saturday! Our drinks came out super fast and we were kept “well hydrated” so the table was really happy even if the food was only so-so. My raclette burger was a little disappointing. I was expecting something a bit more cheesy based on the description and the meat was quite dry. The salad felt like a bit of an afterthought and the fries were a bit meh. But then, maybe that’s my fault for ordering the burger from a brunch menu! There was a minimum spend on the room which I think was £700, we hadn’t quite made that by the end but a round of espresso martinis as suggested by our host went down extremely well, and we ended up at about £70 a head. I think given this was in a private dining room in a popular area and we mostly had the bottomless option, it’s not a terrible price. It was worth it for the lovely company and great service. One thing I would add is that they had a wedding booking after ours and we did have to be hurried out at the end. Would have been nice to sit and have more drinks or dessert so I wonder if it was the best decision to book in a big party the same day of hosting a wedding? I know they have to make their overheads but it’s never nice to have to skedaddle at the end of a meal. If I lived in London I would consider booking the private dining room for another get together. But probably wouldn’t have the burger!

Such a cute and cozy place. I didn't enjoy my choice as poached eggs were overcooked, bread wasn't fresh (it tasted like it was yesterday's or smth) and the mushroom was half, not even a whole one. However, my parter's was tasted really nice and his poached eggs were well cooked.
