Paul Hamlyn Hall in Newham

I love the ROH but the food at this place is really letting them down. Very low quality food, the potato salad served with the smoked salmon was very old and tasted disgusting. The cheese plate totally devoid of any flavour with damp/hard crackers. I expected salad with my quiche, instead I got a plate of leftovers/factory floor sweepings (see photos), very old and totally inedible. I looked around and every table seemed to have been given a plate of this atrocious and frankly offensive “thing”. What an absolute shame. I did not expect this at the ROH. Never again, I’d rather go to McDonalds.

Beautiful venue with wonderful staff

Nice venue, I imagine it must be great when full. I ordered the Plant Burger which was one of the worst vegan burgers I've ever had. I also had wedges which looked and tasted old. They were served to me in compostable 'plates' with tomato sauce sachets. At a place like this?!? The wine was good.

This area is so beautiful and comes to life during the Christmas season with lovely decorations and ambiance. Sometimes there are musicians who come to perform music in the public squares. I wish I still have a video of that. There are also independent magicians who perform. And did I mention the amazing food they have?

Lovely venue, amazing building, great shows, friendly and helpful staff, lovely champagne and or wine. Everybody i see who has never been there before always takes photos of the venue / building. If you want to impress somebody, this is the place to take them.

Lovely area that used to be part of Covent Garden flower market. Sells great coffee drinks and sandwiches(at a price) during performance intervals. Often given over to quite amazing events - including a tea dance - and has definately become a family friendly hub. Check ROH website for programme of events.

Love this space, beautiful ,a lot of times they have free shows,used to be able to join in the lunchtime concerts singing with great artists opera sopranos etc performers from the Royal Opera House but they don't seem to do it anymore a great shame.

Expensive pre-opera dinner but very nice. Excellent staff.

The Paul Hamlyn Hall is part of the Royal Opera House complex and is stunning. It has a large floating bar in the centre serving wines, champagne, drinks, coffee and bar snacks. It's balcony has a restaurant. The food and snacks are top quality. The service is attentive and you don't wait long to be served. A new outdoor balcony has been added to the Bow Street end this summer. An ideal place to eat and drink before a ballet or opera.

Such a beautiful place. But when you order an expensive wine and get it in dirty glasses? Already the second time. When mentioned , the waiter just gave clean ones afterwards without a word or apology. Ignored us completely. Very rude.
