I used to go to a major annual lunchtime do at the Savoy, but afterwards we’d pile into the Coal Hole next door, where the prices were rather less eye-watering than in the American Bar!
Also recall at one of said do’s, many years ago now, being charged a fiver for a glass of white wine that was truly undrinkable. To be fair there was no hassle about replacing it, though.
But I still have fond memories of the Savoy, though. Much more recently we had dinner there with friends making their annual summer visit to London.
After a previous such dinner, where noise levels were so loud we had to shout across the table, we requested a very quiet area for our Savoy dinner, and they really came up trumps. No more expensive than many other places, either.
