Absolute rip off, the staff were polite and the pizza was very nice but £50 plus for three non-alcoholic drinks and three pizza's is extortion. I know it's London and that commands high prices but get real.

Located in central London's Convent Garden, Fuel Bar is that rare place where you can go without feeling so uncomfortable about how much you'll be spending. Obviously the prices here aren't cheap, but I think it's generally very cheap compared to the average bar in central London.
First of all, the food was great and I really enjoyed it, as well as the drinks, though they are fairly basic. If this review was based solely on the food, it would no doubt get that special five star rating, but the reason below puts a damper on that.
The service (the waitors, etc) was just appalling. I felt like I was an intruder who had put a damper on their fun, when in fact I should have been treated as a customer. The waitresses and waitors seemed to be more interested in looking at their mobiles than actually doing their job. I had to wait about five minutes before someone came to my table, and even then they didn't even bother to apologise. Sadly I think a brick has more personality than these waitors and waitresses, who obviously don't know that a smile here and there would be nice. And they were SO slow and delayed serving me in favour of sending texts or whatnot.

So, if you want a place where the food and drink is great and of value, ten Fuel is the place. But don't even think of coming here for a friendly service because all you're going to get are flat waitors and waitresses with a personaly that would make a brick seem exciting. It's sad that a place with such amazing food has such terrible waitors and waitresses.

The food was lovely, the drinks were lovely, the staff were extreamly friendly, the music was diverse, and the atmosphere was great! I recommend this fantastic bar to anyone who's up for a good night out with some friends! I loved every minute of it! I wish I could give it TEN stars!

Very cold, unhelpful and unprofessional staff. Their attitude made me feel not like a customer but someone who ‘unpleasantly’ intruded their ‘peaceful easy life’. Should be no star at all. What a pity that such a pathetic business occupies such a premium location.

When the food arrived it was stone cold, when sent back was just reheated for a few minutes in the microwave, food is left on the pass upstairs where the main door is open. slow service! and under-cooked seafood! quite simply rubbish and a complete waste of money. One of the worst meals I have experienced in london having lived here for 22 years!

ok so its a fab setting with cute little corners, and when i say little i mean tiny! don't attempt a night there if you are over 5 foot!
we recently spent a christmas evening there and oh my good what a waste of money, drinks good but the food is GROSS never been served such junk! even after a jug of cocktails it still tasted of feet!
and the staff are a f*&king joke, rude rude rude! with a serious lack of personality all round especially the so called managers! they must get out of the wrong side of bed everyday! someone needs to order them some smiles and public relations training! won't be returning there in a hurry, the puddles outside are more interesting and less offensive!

Had a great night here friday after work, very centrally located and its definitely the best place to watch the covent garden street perfomers.

The food's a tad pricey but the happy hour drinks made up for that, can't comment about the waiting staff but the guys on the top bar were more than helpful and offered to bring a seat up for my pregnant colleague on the balcony which was appreciated.

Definitely one of the better bars covent garden has to offer.
