Funky central London hot spot with cool bar area and relaxed outdoor terrace. Good food and broad drinks/wine list. Service is spotty.

Absolutely never again! Awful service (if at all existent) took forever to order and once we had our drinks we were totally forgotten. We had to look for staff to get the bill and pay. No wonder why the place is empty and in good need of some work.

Food was OK but below my expectations. The place was pretty quiet. Maybe that is why

We didn’t eat, but had cocktails at the bar. Friendly and attentive bar staff although initially discussed on some admin issues rather than customers. Great ambience. Good cocktails produced very quickly once ordered. Generally atmosphere was elegant fifties vibe without being intimidating. Some pole dressed up and some not. All staff at Sanderson were friendly and efficient.

It has been a few years since I visited the Sanderson and I was surprised at how much it has gone downhill. Everything is looking a little bit tired - flickering lights in the hall on the way to the toilets, dirty and damaged mirrors inside the ladies toilets etc. But what really shocked me was the terrible service. We were a table of 4 and there was a catalog of issues that turned into a bit of a comedy. The waiter didn’t write our order down which was his first mistake, then brought 2 cocktails instead of one, forgot the water, missed off the fries. We had to chase up twice, eventually arrived after we’d finished our mains, no apology at all. Then he brought our bill despite not asking for it. The price of our drinks was wrong, and in the end I asked to speak to the manager to voice our dissatisfaction. I was initially told the managers were on a break so I’d have to wait!!! When I did speak to the manager she apologised and did her best to made amends, but the damage was done and I won’t be back.

What a lovely bar, we went for anniversary drinks and it didn't disappoint again. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and we even got a glass of prosecco and a cake and candle to celebrate, what a touch! Great cocktails, great ambience. We will be back again! What a great start to our evening

The food did not disappoint but with only 1,5 waiters it was a bit of a struggle to get their attention. The ambience was great but having the doors open to the terrace brought in the cold wind.
