Stockpot (Old Compton St)

We had breakfast at this restaurant on Sat 16th march. A full english with a cup of tea or coffee was £ 4.95. The price wasn't bad, the portions not bad but unfortunately,the food was luke warm. The restaurant staff were friendly and my two children, who aren't that fussed about hot food, liked it.

This is really a complaint in regards this restaurant in the Old Compton street. I am not sure are they a part of your chain but they are an utter disgrace to your chain and definitely very disrespectful to the customer . I've been here so many times and every time I experienced the same treatment!! I felt humiliated and definitely felt like my money was stolen out of me as I can never enjoy my meal in piece and as long as I want. Today again my hard earn money was taken out of my pocket and again as every single other time I was asked to leave the table even I haven't even finished with my drink which I was enjoying after a big meal. Such a disrespect for the customer is not to be imagined and even more to be experienced!! Spoke to the manager and he told me you didn't want any dessert so we needed the table as we are busy!!! I could not believe that I was told that and can't honestly believe that I've been treated like this and its not the first time!!!!

Absolutely disgraceful and run by an ignoramus!!!

Went to see a play on Friday night, and the Stockpot was recommended to me by a friend. Firstly, just want to say, I am in no way a food snob, and love a good cafe that does tasty, unfussy homecooked food. This was not one of those places. The people working there were nice and they seated us (6 in total) right away. The menu is big and varied. I decided to order fish and chips. I soooo wanted to like it, but it was utterly tasteless. Bolied mushy carrots and cabbage. About 5 chips on the plate, and the fish was in a sort of cornmeal coating, which I wasn't expecting. And it wasn't nice. My friend and I also split and order of garlic bread which was soggy, and clearly store bought. It would only have been good value for money if it was enjoyable. It wasn't.

The Stockpot (Soho Branch) is a London institution and the existing markings don't do it justice. The food is excellent for what it is - good staple stuff - and the cafe is open at all hours. I defy anyone to find a better omelette in London!

I can only assume an error occurred with the average price quoted (£25!) - at £5 average for a main course, you would be hard-pressed indeed to reach that sort of sum. Additionally, the service is swift and efficient

Ideal pre- or post-theatre venue and puts many a 'finer' restaurant to shame.

I've been going to the Stockpot for the last 30 years, and can honestly say that I've never had bad service! It's great value for money too.

Friends and myself were booked for the Palace Threatre last night so decided to eat in The Stockpot, Old Compton Street and we were all impressed with the food and prices. I mentioned to the waiter we were a bit pressed for time as it was after 6pm and was told it was not a problem. The food arrived all in good time for us to eat and chat and we were entering the theatre at 7.15pm. I would definately visit again.

Awful, had to send my first steak back as it was still mooing, when they brought my meal back it was more grissle than meat, the chips were greasy and the vegetable inedible. Stay away at all costs!
