We chose Shu for my daughter’s wedding meal and booked a private dining room for 15 people. The food and service throughout the evening were very good, and I have no complaints in that regard. However, I was left very disappointed by the way the corkage policy was handled. I fully understand that restaurants charge for corkage when guests bring their own alcohol, but the lack of empathy and professionalism shown by the staff member in charge that evening — and later by the general manager I spoke with — was disheartening. My husband had bought a special bottle of champagne the year my daughter was born, and since he sadly passed away during COVID, I thought it would be a meaningful gesture to open it at her wedding meal. I was unaware that prior notice was required and asked what difference it would make — the staff member admitted “not a lot,” yet still insisted on the full £60 corkage fee. I explained the sentimental value of the bottle and mentioned that we were spending significantly on the evening (our final bill, including drinks purchased from the restaurant, was £1,567). Despite this, I was met with a dismissive attitude and no flexibility. While I would have happily paid a reasonable corkage fee, such as £20, I felt the situation was handled in an unprofessional and insensitive manner. This lack of understanding on what was such a personal and important occasion left a sour note on what should have been a wonderful celebration. While the food was excellent, I expected more compassion and professionalism from a restaurant of this standard.. I would advise the owner to perhaps send the manager and acting manger on a refresher course in customer service and use their discretion in certain situations. Whilst I enjoyed the food I unfortunately wouldn't return or suggest this place

A very enjoyable evening, staff welcoming , efficient, friendly. Seemed very noisy on entering the restaurant but settled down and did not impede our conversation. Menu slightly limited. But food was excellent , and all four of us enjoyed our starters and mains. Highly recommend
