"It was with a mixture of delight and trepidation that I greeted the news that The Chart Room First Class Coffee Lounge was reopening with new staff. However, I am happy to report that any trepidation I felt was quickly diminished. I tried the scrambled...egg and smoked salmon bagel on the day of opening and was pleased with the excellent quality and presentation of the food. The ambience had not diminished and it was a pleasure to sit surrounded by the fascinating collection of marine memorabilia listening to songs from the 40's and 50's. The initial menu was small but had been well thought out and there was something to appeal to every palate. The service was friendly and efficient and not obtrusive. Since that initial visit, I have returned several times and it has become an excellent venue to meet with friends. I can report further that other items on the menu are of equal quality and presentation to my first foray. I have tried the cream tea with excellent quality scones (nothing shop bought here) and some of the range of sandwiches. My lunching friends have also reported similar enjoyment of their choices of food. The menu has substantially increased since opening and now there are options for all palates that could tempt even the most picky eater. Also there is a new range of afternoon teas available and I am looking forward to sampling the delights on offer. I am a local and was very upset at the forced closure of one of my favourite haunts, however I am extremely happy with the reopening (even though my waistline may not be). Welcome back Bob and the Chart Room staff and long may you continue."
