It is the sort of place one would expect to be open to members only. Food is buffet-style but with a very wide selection, all of excellent quality. Wine is available at reasonable prices and brought to the table by the very helpful staff. Reservation is essential and to get the best of the experience, prompt arrival is recommended. On completion of the meal, we tend not to linger but the nearby El Vino provides many fine ports!Middle Temple Hall is a spectacular Elizabethan building with a magnificent double hammer-beam roof.
