Maddox (Members' Club)
18 May 2008

I cannot believe most of what's written here! I've had countless fantastic nights in Maddox and prices are London prices. Yes, its that simple!

I went to a very good public school but I am not the son of a Lord or Duke, so perhaps that's why I am neither offended nor disgusted by the clientele. If you wish to socialise with 'public school' old English money, go to the bar at Claridge's or the cliche that is Boujis. Or better yet, put on your best Barbour and toddle on down to Sloane Square. At least then the 'Eastern Eurotrash' won't have you oggling them and pointing at their 'jolly big bossoms' and the rest of us won't have to suffer your dribbling whines about tax or economics or fox hunting...

Anyway, love Maddox. Fantastic venue. Go with four or five friends and alternate between downstairs and garden and I promise you'll meet a vivid cross section of international London.

Mo*vida (Club / Members' Club)
18 May 2008

I went to the end of season party at Movida on Sunday. I was shocked. Not only were we lead to our supposed VIP table through a kitchen/pantry because the club was so crowded, but on arriving at the table they wanted to charge us £500 more than the quote we were given the same day. The waitress started off by being rude when we tried to explain, then said she had no record of our booking, then changed her story again and said we could have the table for £100 per head. Blatant lies and money grabbing from the start.

The club and most of the clientele frequenting it that evening were classless to the max. Add to this no air-conditioning, very rude staff, and filthy toilets. Movida could potentially be an excellent night out with a large group of the right people, but I'd suggest avoiding event nights at all costs.
