Schpoons & Forx

You're walking into the Hilton on Terrace Road expecting hotel restaurant predictability, but Schpoons & Forx breaks that mould with proper British cooking that actually bothers to impress. The menu takes things you've eaten a hundred times—think heritage vegetables, premium cuts, traditional preparations—and reimagines them with restraint and technique rather than unnecessary fussiness. It's the kind of place where a roast becomes an event, where sides get proper thought, and where they've clearly hired someone who understands that British food doesn't need to apologise. The room itself is clean and contemporary without being soulless, striking that rare balance where you feel looked after without feeling fussy.
