We have just had a cocktail experience at Hennessy and what a amazing time it was. We were celebrating a hen party with such a variety of ages, that this really was a perfect choice. Such value for money. The experience was far from cheap and tacky hen experiences and really was a lovely relaxed evening with delicious cocktails. Thank... More

We chose to book this restaurant a second time after enjoying it so much the first time round. I love the opulent and romantic decor; which has a definite 'French boudoir' feel with dark drapes and intimate lighting. We were greeted by a team of very young and enthusiastic team who seemed a bit nervous in all honesty! Nevertheless, they... More

We had a fantastic night at Hennessy's the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was superb. The cocktails lovely. They allowed us in the morning to decorate the table. At the end of the evening the owner came over and gave us all some shots, my mother (74) loved them. so many thanks again for a brilliant night.

Came upon the restaurant by chance on a very busy Bank Holiday evening so unfortunately we were seated immediately in front of the kitchen & serving area which was very busy & noisey plus there was a large party of very boisterous youngsters which didn't help the atmosphere I'm afraid. We had a problem with the service as the waitress... More
