• Great brunch, terrible tap water policy

We went for Sunday brunch and were amazed by the quality of the food and variety of choice. There's a table with cereal, yoghurt and fruit, then an assortment of cold food (eg. cheese, salami, antipasti), some hot savoury dishes (tofu scramble, a delicious mushroom medley, etc) and some sweet treats to finish (mini pancakes and three types of cakes). We were really spoiled for choice and ate well. Service was excellent too. I'd recommend booking, because it was absolutely packed. Drinks are not included in the buffet, they needed to be ordered from the staff. We ordered hot drinks, and then asked for some tap water to accompany them. We were told that they don't serve tap water, but could give us bottled still water instead. We got two small glasses of water (under 0.5l altogether), we didn't see the bottle they came from so they may have been tap water for all we knew, and were charged 3.80. I just can't understand this policy and it really spoiled my enjoyment. If they are losing money, they could bump up the price of the buffet and I can't imagine anyone could complain. Charging extortionate prices for water is not the way to do it, and left me with a very negative impression of the place.
