The Well

We held our wedding reception at The Well recently and it was an absolutely fantastic night from start to finish. The food was excellent and the bacon rolls at midnight were a massive hit. Friendly, efficient staff and a great space – the two floors meant people could chat upstairs and dance like crazy downstairs. And I can't speak highly enough of events manager Nadia who made the whole planning process really simple and stress-free.

Came for lunch with colleagues for the 50% offer. I did not have to mention this at all and the cost was automatically removed form the bill. Two of us had the burgers, which were divine and perfectly cooked to order (mine was medium rare). The other had the mussels which I was was told were very good.

Desserts I feel did not match up with the mains but they were fine. The wine list is very reasonable and service very good.

I was surprised how quiet it was but Wednesday lunch after a long weekend probably isn't surprising. I would happily recommend.

I had my 30th birthday party last weekend and I had the entire downstairs bar to myself. The whole event was a rip-roaring success thanks to the wonderful and attentive staff at The Well. Nadia was great in the run-up to the event, making sure everything went according to plan. Everyone commented on how great the venue was and I have already recommended it to others.

We hired the whole restaurant and downstairs bar area for our Christmas party (50 people). The food was very good indeed - I can recommend the Scallops starter wholeheartedly - and all the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. There is a really great team there - James is a super manager and the whole evening was efficiently coordinated by Nadia, the Events Manager. The atmosphere was both cosy and festive, and the downstairs bar was decorated beautifully. A great time was had by all and I'm very pleased indeed that we opted to have our party at The Well - we would definitely return for future events.

We had our company Christmas Party at The Well last Friday and I have to say it was a complete success. The venue, food and smooth running of the evening was great but all thanks must go to the staff who are great!

The Well copes equally whether we are a table of 2 or Christmas lunch for 14. First class ingredients are used to produce class dishes with a modern twist. The staff are on-the-ball and helpful. Definitely a restaurant you would be happy to go to regularly if you worked or lived in the area.

We had our department Christmas lunch at the Well this week and we all really enjoyed it. Both the food and the service were great - the scallop entree was a highlight for me personally...

We travelled from Canary Wharf for this lunch and it was great to go to a different area. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed and Christmasy with crackers and "secret prize" envelopes for everyone.

I would definately go to the Well again if I was in the area, the bar downstairs looked great as well.

16 of us went to The Well for our department Christmas lunch. The food and the service were both fantastic. I would highly recommend it.

I booked the downstairs bar at The Well for my birthday party and I can highly recommend it. Before deciding on The Well, I went round a few pubs to see what was available and The Well was clearly the nicest. Most pubs would only offer half a floor but The Well offered the whole of downstairs and therefore truly private. The stylish decor was also a definite attraction.

The event manager Nadia was very efficient and helpful in the run up to the party. The evening went smoothly without a hitch, with excellent food and very reasonably priced drinks. Service was wonderful and we all had a good time.

Although the downstairs bar is advertised to hold 70 people, I had around 35 people at the party and that was comfortable. I wouldn't want to have much more than 45 people there.

I will be very happy to hold another party there.

I hired out the basement bar for a party and it was a great success. The staff were really friendly and accomodating. The venue was great and everyone commented on how nice the area was. Great night all around!
