Corney & Barrow

I was looking for a place to enjoy a good dinner. tonight and I let myself go to the C&B restaurant.
I was not looking for a gourmet but only a decent one.
As I was walking in the City, I just entered into C&B because the lay-​out sounded good but that was the only good thing.
The waitress, neutral, «done her job», giving me a table.
Then I ordered a glass of french wine «Cotes du Rhôné Vignobles Gonnet 2011» (£9) & a Sirloin Steak «medium» with fries (£13).
Here we come :
For a £9 glass of french wine, they serve me a glass of vinegar and the steak is overcooked, dried and tastes like shoe sole and the fries are the worst frozen fries you could have ever tasted.
I don’t like the Mcdon*ld fries but I would have prefered them !!!
I paid £23 for that and the least I could do is preventing people to go to that place.
I know I will never go back to that place but I do hope you will follow my advice if you like real (french) wine and good/​normal food.
This establishment should be ashamed of what they are currently serving !!

If you’re after a post-​work drink in the City, this Corney & Barrow will do ya as good as any, I suppose. The two hours I spent in post-​work sunshine/​early summer London surely was a fine time.
With gaggles of girls perched on the lawn and throngs of suits letting off steam — it’s not bad for people watching, either.

Ok I’ve only been there for one drink on an early Friday evening, but I liked the atmosphere — full of City folk — of course! What else do you expect from a bar on Old Broad Street… but it wasn’t filthy (which is a rarity for the City).
Ample space, tall ceilings and unpretentious atmosphere. I liked it a lot!

A lovely place to go for a few drinks after work in the City. As a co-​worker noted, it’s very suit-​y, but it’s got a great drink list, attentive staff, and plenty of space. We were a group of five who arrived right after work on a weekday and snagged a booth table in the back and spent a few hours there. To soak up the tasty Malbec, we also shared a platter of delicious vegetarian nibbles, it was great for bar food!
