restaurant is bright and unromantic but great fun.

Amaretto

A family-owned restaurant that has faithful clients coming back again and again. Amaretto
offers classic Italian food in warm and friendly atmosphere. Whatever time you come here,

tasty and excellent value for money. Great for families or big groups of friends.

The George Inn

A dark and smoky pub. Come here if you want to taste traditional English fish and chips or
steak and kidney pie in a beautiful atmosphere. The pub serves a good range of beers, too.

The Ritz

This spectacular palace-style dining room is famous as one of London’s most luxurious,
romantic restaurants. It’s hard to resist splashing out on the exquisite 5 course menu. The staff

celebrities, business executives and wealthy tourists. Come here for a memorable dining
experience, which will certainly do damage to your bank account!
