Albannach (66 Trafalgar Square, London, WC2N 5DS)

An odd evening of pluses and minuses. On the plus side, the staff are charming and attentive and the food is pretty much OK. The major minus is the fact that this has to be the noisiest place in London. The restaurant is in the bar and the deafening din from a bunch of beer-swilling M&S-suited oiks quite ruined the evening for us.

Benugo Bar & Kitchen at BFI Southbank (BFI Southbank, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XT)

A most disappointing lunch at this unattractive restaurant. We waited over 30 minutes between starter and main course – the waiter said, when I mentioned the wait, that ‘the trouble is, everyone arrives at the same time’. Er yes…lunchtime!

I asked for a bottle of lager and was given a pint of draft. The female staff member who served us was snippy and over-familiar. And the dire ‘background’ music was intrusive.

The bill was £70 for two, for two courses each and four drinks. My liver (or venison, according to the bill) was raw. My companion's salmon (or cod, according to the bill) was OK.

I will not return.
