Restaurants near St James's Park

From beginning to end, the experience was absolutely exceptional. The food, service, cocktails, and wine list are some of the best we've ever had the privilege of dining in London in the past 20 years. Don't let the location deter you from trying The Pem. You won't be disappointed. I ordered the sweetbreads and venison. Portion sizes are small but perfectly executed and plenty enough considering the array of gratis amuse that the kitchen provides throughout the night. All accommodated myriad food allergies, down to piping hot gluten-free toast served with a yummy whipped butter.

We always enjoy our visits to Saint Jacques. The welcome is always warm and the service is exemplary. The food gets better and better, this time I had the scallops (St Jacques!) and the pheasant, which was an enormous portion, and very flavoursome. The wine list is well chosen with some unusual wines and all very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Great experience and I loved it. Will definitely go again x

The Orchard Room is a lovely part of the Conrad Hotel. We arrived for our afternoon tea, unsure of where to go and the lovely gentleman from the concierge walked us to The orchard Room. He then spoke to a man in a black suit to let him know we had arrived and our booking name. However what happened next was not professional. He was telling the concierge gentlemen to take us to our seats and kept pointing at the table, as though he was too busy. There was only one other table having afternnoon tea! Eventually another gentlemen appeared in a grey waistcoat and took us to our table. We were then advised that whatever we didn’t consume we could take home. Fast forward… we were then advised at the end that we couldn’t take anything home. We felt that the conversation previously taken place, was conflicting. I don’t mean to say, but the gentlemen could hardly speak English, so there was a little confusion his end. We booked The Orchard Room from an instagram recommendation. The afternoon tea is £65. For this price we would have expected from the beginning to be shown to our seats, as oppose to to the Manager being ‘too busy’ and palming his duties off onto the concierge. On a positive note the afternoon tea was excellent. The table display, the crockery was simply outstanding. We will not return sadly.
