The ambiance was great. The venue is amazing. We could not get much help with the cocktails, some people preferred non-alcoholic cocktails but there were only 2 options.

Brought my mum for an early Mother’s Day lunch and was highly disappointed. I ordered the Burrata starter and the Irish Cheese Toastie that comes with fries. I asked the waiter if the chef could remove the Parmesan as I am vegetarian and he responded with ‘remove the cheese, no problem’. My mum and I both corrected him and I don’t think he quite understood as when it arrived (with the starter), it only contained ham. Nowhere on the menu did it say the meal came with ham. Yes, it went back and a correct one came out but it dampened the day. 2 cocktails, a starter and 2 mains are not work the £99 there. Water was not topped up during our lunch either.

Absolutely wonderful setting, the most beautiful place! The was service so lovely! Afternoon tea was stunning, a lot of soft mosse textures of cakes though. Would be nice to have an option of the jam for the scones, only because of the price we paid. Overall absolutely wonderful, thankyou so much!

We only had time for one cocktail, but it was the best of the day! We popped in for a birthday, pre-theatre drink and we honestly wish we had left more time for this fantastic spot! The staff were so friendly, both the gentleman that served us and the lady on the door made us feel like regulars. We had an excellent time, there was even a birthday treat waiting for my mother! Absolutely blown away and cannot wait to return for more fun!

FAQs

Yes, The Coral Room's elegant coral decor, refined cocktails and relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere make it a lovely choice for a date night.

Private dining isn't part of The Coral Room's offering, the focus is on the open grand salon bar and lively cocktail atmosphere.

The Coral Room's afternoon tea is generous, guests note four scones each and a selection of five sweets, with sandwiches and cakes frequently replenished.

The Coral Room is a beautifully designed, elegant-yet-relaxed cocktail bar, coral‑coloured walls, high ceilings, chandeliers and art‑deco touches create a glamorous salon where guests enjoy afternoon tea or crafted cocktails.

The Coral Room is at its loveliest for afternoon tea, and early-evening pre-theatre drinks are also excellent, afternoons for tea, early evenings for cocktails before shows.

Smart casual, aim for polished but relaxed attire; many guests visit for celebrations and you’ll often see people dressed up a touch.

On at least one occasion staff welcomed a small dog during a work party, even providing a dog bed and a dog bowl, a helpful, pet-accommodating gesture by the team.
