The Talbot, Belgravia

I made a booking with lastminute.com for the theatre and a meal at the Talbot and my niece and I visited this evening. The service was shambolic - we waited 45 minutes to receive our first course and it was cold when it reached the table. Staff were running about madly and there clearly were insufficient people to serve the numbers in the pub. Our waitress was lovely but rushed off her feet and we had to leave our dessert behind as otherwise we would have been late for the theatre. Most of the other customers were also going to the theatre and all of them had similiar issues. It was very disappointing particularly as this formed part of my birthday present to my niece. Unfortunately I would not be inclined to repeat the experience
