The English Grill

Proudly holding two AA Rosettes, The English Grill stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, inviting you to indulge in a symphony of flavours and an ambiance where every detail is a celebration of sophistication. Under the culinary guidance of our talented Executive Chef, Ben Kelliher, the menu unfolds with signature British classics, including expertly grilled steaks perfected in our charcoal-fired Josper Grill and seasonal plant-based delights. 


The English Grill’s signature dish, however, is the iconic Beef Wellington. A true celebration of British culinary heritage, this classic is prepared with perfectly seared fillet of beef, layered with rich mushroom duxelles and wrapped in golden, buttery puff pastry. Timeless yet indulgent, it reflects the restaurant’s dedication to tradition, craftsmanship, and the very best of British produce. For Londoners, it’s a reminder of the capital’s storied dining legacy; for visitors, it’s an essential taste of Britain – an elegant, theatrical dish that embodies the history and refinement of London’s food scene.


The glass wall overlooking the pass allows guests to witness the culinary artistry, while a skilled waiting team presents selected menu items with a theatrical tableside flourish, adding an element of drama to your dining experience. Our menu is accompanied by an extensive wine list alongside a beautiful champagne trolley.
