    We were slightly late as we didn’t realise you’re in the Liner hotel. Excellent service and value on pre-theatre menu. Tasty starters, generous size. Chicken mains were lovely although one minor point the tomato base was slightly too strong. Overall fabulous experience and will return thanks

    Fantastic 30th wedding anniversary meal. We had the £40 for 3 courses lunch and it was great value. Celeriac soup, cod tagine, sea bream and poached pear creme brulee and honeycomb semifedo with fresh honeycomb were all delicious, fair portions and perfectly cooked. We had warm homemade focaccia with piccolo peppers for the table and truffle and parmesan chips as a side with the main courses. All of the food was superb and as good as any Michelin * restaurant that we have dined in during visits to London. Toi drink we had a lovely bottle of viognier, which was well worth £33 and Pedro Ximinez sherry which was all delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the ambiance of the restaurant is lovely. We had a beautiful lunch and we recommend Wreck 100%.
