Yes, Gordon Ramsay's group still operates the Savoy Grill within the iconic Savoy Hotel, managing it as part of their prestigious collection of restaurants at the hotel, including the River Restaurant and Restaurant 1890. Ramsay took over the management and culinary direction of the Grill in 2003, giving it a significant revamp, and the restaurant continues to offer classic British and French cuisine with modern touches.
The decision was said to be down to the cheese used in the soufflé. However, the court ruled against him on the grounds that the chef provided no proof that the downgrade had caused him damage.
Is it better to sit in the orchestra or mezzanine?
At times, a front mezzanine view may even be preferable to an orchestra view, especially in shows with large ensembles or extensive choreography. Keep in mind that most Broadway theaters do not have elevators and taking the stairs is required to reach mezzanine seats.
The simple answer here is anything. From a casual t-shirt, jeans and trainers to a tuxedo or formal dress, there are no dress codes. For some theatrical events, such as a first preview, press nights, galas and opening nights, it may be worth donning a "smart-casual" outfit.
3️⃣ Most places offer unlimited food and tea. All the hotel afternoon teas I went to in London had unlimited tea and food. This means if you're done with the tea sandwiches and would like more, just ask! They'll bring you more without an extra charge.
The Savoy, the Connaught and Claridge's are among the five-star establishments which have decided to take the matter into their own hands with an optional 'gratuity' charge of 5 per cent.
Parking availability after 10 PM depends entirely on the location, with some cities offering free on-street parking after certain hours (like 8 PM or 10 PM) in specific zones, while others, like parts of London or busy city centers, might have 24/7 charges or specific night restrictions. Always check the parking signs or your local council's website, as rules vary widely by zone, day of the week, and whether it's a public holiday.
The Dress Circle is typically the first elevated tier above the ground floor (Stalls/Orchestra) and often offers excellent, immersive views, sometimes considered the best in the house, while the Balcony (or Upper Circle/Gallery) is a higher, more distant level, usually cheaper, with views that are good for seeing the whole stage but less detailed, often requiring more stairs. Essentially, the Dress Circle is a "nicer" first balcony, and the Balcony is a higher, more budget-friendly upper tier.
Ticket prices for mezzanine seats vary. Seats in the first few rows of the center mezzanine are often considered premium seats, as they offer a similarly prime view as many seats in the orchestra. Those tend to be priced higher, more similarly to orchestra seats.
Mezzanine/balcony (almost) always! Too often the hard work of the lighting designers and choreographers is lost when you can't see the stage floor. Depends on the acoustics of the venue. There's a venue in town where the balcony acoustics are superior to the "orchestra" seats.
