Booked a table at Henry's for a midweek birthday party and overall it was quite a disappointing experience. The service was pretty poor and the food wasn't great. The staff just didn't seem too interested and it took an eternity to get their attention. They seemed to be too busy chatting amongst themselves when they should have been paying more attention to customers wanting more drinks etc. One staff member was just eating behind the bar while sorting out a drinks order. In terms of the food, I had the pork belly that sounded really good on the menu but what showed up at the table was fairly unpleasant. The meat was really hard and the cooked vegetables were cold. The others I was with went for steak and were less than impressed. Don't think we'll be going back anytime soon.

A group of friends and I went to Henry's for lunch. We had printed out the voucher from the Henry's Cafe Bar website which purported to give us £5 off per person. When we presented it to the manager he refused to accept them, got so angry he spat the mint he was chewing out onto our table and stormed off without even looking at us. We are a group of middle aged ladies and did not raise our voices but merely tried to point out that the terms and conditions on the voucher seemed very clear.
The manager was a rude, obnoxious bully and we will never eat at a Henry's Cafe Bar again. It totally spoilt our day.
Penelope Day.

Fab London Bar! Recommend it for Christmas parties, office parties etc as the venue has a big private bar downstairs.

I love Henry's - I'm in there at least three times a week with colleagues for coffee and lunch! The manager very generously gave me a Privilege card so i can get 20% discount now - talk about rewarding your loyal customers! Very impressed & would reccommend to anyone looking for a great bar to start a big night out!

I've been going to Henry's for years and can honestly say it just keeps getting better! It had a huge refurbishment last year and looks very swanky now, definitely the best bar in the west end! I will be organising our office Christmas party here for the third year running!

We had an absolutely lovely time in Henry's Covent Garden last Saturday night! The cocktails are just amazing and the food was as good as always. It's a great venue for pre-theatre dinners being right in the middle of Covent Garden, but would also be a fab venue for Christmas and birthday parties and hen nights as there's always a really good atmosphere in there. I highly recommend Henry's for a great night out

Henry's being right on top of Covent Garden makes this a good and easy place to meet.

Limited outside seating but a spacious and snazzy interior, this venue is ideal for small parties and couples with a vibrant atmosphere. The outside can be deceiving to how large this place really is showing off a oval gallery over looking the lower ground floor.

They a good value menu, selection of starters and typical mains which include various steaks, burgers and pastas with limited vegetrian options. Childrens catering seemed nonexistent but Henry's is more for the mature drinking age groups.

Food is better than expected, and more than generous, the classic fish and chips not fitting on the already large enough plate adding to the value.

There is a wide range of cocktails, wines and sparking wines/champagnes here with your usual branded lagers on tap. Service is very good, staff seemed happy to work here and could not be more helpful getting everything that we required.

Unfazed the staff work rigorously serving the busy eatery. Found this a great venue to meet and greet people and share a lunch or dinner with, it's not amazing but for what you pay for, it's damn good and would recommend more for small groups than dating couples.

Terrible Sunday Roast - cold vegetables and rock hard white roast potatoes. The service was bad too. I will never go back.

After pounding the streets of London we decided to try Henry's for a spot of lunch. Henry's doesn't look much from the outside but it opens up inside and is very well decorated with a number of different bars and selection of formal dining and comfy seats. The menu was great, well priced and the food wasn't a disappointment and arrived quickly even though it was 12:30 on a Saturday! The cocktail menu looked very interesting too so I'll have to try and get back to Henry's on a night time when I'm next back from Aberdeen!

Henry’s do good chips. Henry’s also do good burgers. That’s all I had to say really.
