    I'm looking at a few places locally for a christening party. Has anyone been to the Athenaeum recently? What was it like?
    I'm interested in what the food is like these days as it's a few years since I was last there.
    Any input would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Had a christening there in November and it was ideal. Food was lovely as was the service. Ideal venue for something like a christening I think.

    OP, I've been in there a few times in the last 6 months mainly as a spot for quick business chat over coffee.
    Lovely venue. Good service. Nice warm fire on a very wet morning recently.
    Food was good, as was the coffee.
    Cant comment on the dining room as I wasnt in there.

    The only downside I have is the bar is tiny

    I think its fine for a christening,food was good when i was there but would not recommend it for a wedding,as the band play in a room off the dining/conservatory area so you can hear the music but no interaction between band and wedding party found it very strange.
