The English Grill

Experience British dining and theatrical presentation in beautiful surroundings

A refined dining experience

Truly refined and stylish, The English Grill is set in opulently designed surroundings, serving the finest English produce from suppliers that serve the Royal households. Murano chandeliers and a live-action kitchen make for a truly unique experience. The menu offers signature classics, including steaks, plant-based dishes, desserts, and dishes from our Founder and President, Mrs Beatrice Tollman. All meats are grilled to perfection in our charcoal-fired Josper Grill.

The glass wall overlooking the pass allows guests to watch some of the action taking place in the kitchen and several of our menu items are served with a theatrical table-side flourish by our skilled waiting team. The dining experience is accompanied by an extensive wine list, including a fine selection from Bouchard Finlayson, our vineyard in South Africa, alongside a beautiful Champagne trolley.

The English Grill is proud to hold two AA Rosettes.
