This was a big disappointment. Service, food, atmosphere. If you're not a large party, you're ignored. The steaks are barely passable as steaks and they put jam on just about everything. The manager does not manage, but rather performs and insults, and the wait staff is massively understaffed.

The bar is relaxing and has nice ambiance. Our bartenders Sanju and Varsha were amazing! Sanju made the best cocktails and was super friendly! The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered a great variety of pastries, juices, coffee, and teas, along with a few egg choices.

I have come here just for a drink. The staff are incredibly friendly and happy to chat, the decor is perfect.

Sitting here with my drink, I am enjoying both opulent surroundings, in a magnificent traditional building, but with the twist of creative and well done modern furniture.

It just feels so friendly, that I am not feeling self conscious sitting here by myself waiting for a friend to arrive.

The only reason I have not given it that 5th star, is that the whiskeys,  which is what I came in for, are a rather basic standard range, of mainstream standard lower end brands.  The other drinks may have a more eclectic range, but I can only judge what I came here for.  Also having just come in here for a drink, I have not tried out the food.

If you are in the area and would like a place to pop in. I recommend this was a good choice for atmosphere and service. However the range of drinks are not exactly craft beer and interesting.

Mediocre but over priced food. Shocking £14 for a burger with no sides. Dry and bland. Meat dishes even more money. 
Toilets shockingly dirty, depressing atmosphere, was empty on a Thursday night. Your typical overpriced hotel restaurant. Don't come here

Went to Boyd's on a Saturday in early October, the location is easy for before or after lots of things, so I have been before.

The re-fit is looking great, the room has really opened up and lends itself all the more to an informal quality dining experience, I love the new cushions and winged chairs and was surprised at how comfy the "invisible" chairs were after a few hours.

Rather than traditional starters, there is "British Tapas".  Very good concept, well executed across the items we had; Scotch Egg, Chicken Liver Pate and Mushrooms on Toast seemed to be the winners round the table but there were also Cumbrian Ham and Skate Cheeks, [who knew?]
 
I had the Bass which was easy to eat and cooked perfectly, very good portion too.  Round the table we also enjoyed Goats Cheese Salad & Pork with crunchy crackling.  Only complaint I heard was that the chicken dish we had was too large, I thought the bread sauce with it was delicious.  None of the sides disappointed; mash very good texture-wise, potato and bacon was refreshing and everything green was enticingly green which is always a help.  The girls liked the little casserole dishes everything was served in btw.
 
Duo of Cheese was good for not being cold and good contrast between the varieties, I had the chocolate tart which was lovely and rich, the sorbet with it was excellent, really fresh in the mouth and an explosion of flavour.  There was also a raspberry crumble which went down so well I barely caught sight of it!  Custard was tasty though...
 
Chilean Sauvignon was acceptable but no more I thought.  Clos Maucaillou was excellent and good value, we also had a red dessert wine that was recommended at the table [very good with my sorbet and the cheese too...].  
We had a bottle of Prosecco before we took to the table with bowls of spicy things, they could do with bar nuts instead.
 
Service from everyone was attentive and individual and the bill was £60 a head with 4 bottles of wine, water, service and bread which I thought was good value in such a sumptuous setting.

How sad...such a waste of attractive space.

Lots of marble and plush seating near the bar area, the bar is glitzy and the dining area tastefully decorated.

Interesting menu, small and large plates, and a pre-theater menu for less that 20 pounds. Lots of wines, too few by the glass.

The service is what made it such a waste. The waiter had to check our order and still got it wrong, too many differing servers helped to make a mess of what we wanted, and then, after asking for the bill twice, we got a bill that was completely screwed up. In trying to fix it the bill got screwed up even more. 

Yikes! It is pointless to have good food in a nice place if service is horrendous.

One and done, as the wags say.

Pork belly was very good! Had a nice salad too! Waitress was extremely nice also.

I had a voucher for Boyd's, but even without it the meal would have been reasonable.  There was a nice selection of things to choose from on the menu and the food overall was pretty good.  Nothing amazing but all enjoyable.  Good wine selection as well.  Cocktails are a bit steep.  Hotel setting isn't my favorite but it was still nice.  And it was annoying you have to pay for bread.


-Chicken livers: Tasty but could use a better sauce/reduction
-Duck Roll: Good flavors but nothing amazing
-Steak and chips: Cooked well. Yummy chips.  Sauce was a bit watery
-Fish with saffron risott: Really delicious.  Fish was cooked perfectly and the risotto had nice flavor
-Chocolate brownie: One of the best brownies I've ever had
-Apple and berry crumble: Delish

We had a pre theatre dinner at Boyd's and really enjoyed the food.
The "British" tapas were very nice indeed.
I enjoyed venison and pork belly.
The fish pies was very nice indeed.
Fruit crumble delicious.
The wine list was limited, obscure and pricey.
The service was excellent and they got us out in good time for the theatre.
My only mild criticism would be the cold ambiance of the room created by awful gray marble,
If you are off to see "Spamalot" at the Northumberland (which is a great show) go to Boyd's across the road

DEALS: 2 for 1 8.50/9.50 cocktail deals from 10 - midnight on certain nights. Incredible deal. 

DRINKS: Sidecars were fantastic. Do NOT get the mint julep - it is absolutely unrecognizable. 

LOCATION: Luxurious ambiance. Loads of chandeliers and lush lounge seating. Larger tables seemed shoved in a corner and there was limited seating - fair warning. But it's a fairly open hotel foyer with a bar rather than a separated hotel bar, really.
