I loved the decor.
You have a choice of seating. in the busy downstairs café, watching the world go by, near an attractive artificial tree.
Upstairs Dining
Or on the mezzanine balcony floor overhead for more relaxed dining.
The meal included three food items I absolutely loved which made up for those which were so-so. And two great drinks.
Delightful Drinks
Starting with the drinks. The tap water was served in an elegant modern silver coloured jug. The glassware was a delight. The water glasses were wide at the base, unusual, special.
My Prosecco was good. Best of all it was served with a slice of strawberry on the room which made the drink look special and the drinker feel special. I must have had Prosecco a dozen times at a dozen restaurants. Every time I was disappointed that no effort was made to decorate the glass, although everybody ordering cocktails got something special. Excellent. Full marks. Applause. We all, four of us, were impressed.
Fabulous Food
We went without starters and instead made do with nibbles. We were not keen on the large tough green olives with stones. However -
1 Nibbles - We loved the fried strings of vegetables.
2 Beef cheek with mashed potato was soft, tasty, wonderful.
(Other main courses were: a steak, fine for the price. Stuffed Chicken, spirals wrapped in bacon, with a good green salad with a few small red tomatoes, okay. Polenta fingers, so so. Chips, ok.
3 The cheesecake was excellent, creamy.
4 The sorbet, raspberry, also met with everybody's approval.
After our meal we went downstairs to look around.
The Café Downstairs
The set tea looked gorgeous. So did the pastries sold individually.
Unisex Toilets
The unisex toilets on the ground floor are disconcerting. Ladies and gents through the same door. Inside washbasins, and cubicles and one wider cubicle with a basin for wheelchairs and other disabilities.
Down the curved staircase at the back of the ground floor is the basement's open plan relaxing private dining area with an oval table, and another area of small tables also used for general restaurant eating in winter.
Who are the owners of Wolfox Savoy?
I was told that a couple of people started a coffee business in Brighton. But only one person is on the information under people which popped up from a page on the website of Companies House.
Regarding the coffee, online you can buy capsules and other coffees on line from their website. I could not see how many coffee capsules are in the box.
The London restaurant is your sole opportunity currently, 2026, to find food. Wolfox has an amusing fox face upright hybrid cartoon character on their website.
The relaxing almost Italic murals are the legacy from them having taken over a restaurant which was previously Japanese.
The word Savoy in the name reflects their surroundings. They are near the Savoy hotel, but management of the two companies is entirely separate. not related at all.
One might think it is wrong to call the place Savoy. But the word savoy means fir tree.
Where Is Wolfox Savoy Restaurant?
Beside the Savoy Hotel, not related, and Simpson's in the Strand, in good company.
From Mill Hill East we took the overground train, much more comfortable than the underground, from Mill Hill East (flight of 7 steps and 9 steps both sides of the car bus garage parking which you have to cross, to Blackfriars. Then the 126 bus outside the station.
