They were served with two lovely runny poached eggs as well &#8211; an addition that had not been part of the dish last time I ordered it.\u00a0 The staff were really on the ball, a glass of tap water was provided within about a minute off asking for it, as was the bill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The area (Southwark Street &#8211; near the <a title=\"Blue Fin Building\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bluefinbuilding.info\/app\/home\/index.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Fin Building<\/a>) is much more lively now too, lots of restaurants and bars with outdoor seating.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE &#8211; The Table&#8217;s menu and chef has changed.
