I visited the Randolf Hotel recently with family for lunch. Despite the weather being so very cold the staff offered a warm welcome and a "cheery" hello. The menu which ranged from light bites to a full three course lunch was comprehensive to say the least. Although we only ordered a main course the food was just fabulous!! I would... More
