Dine In Style:
GREAT BRITISH RESTAURANT
T
he area of London around St
James’s holds much interest,
with Buckingham Palace, St
James’s Palace, St James’s Park,
Green Park and other popular
locations only a short walk away.
Mayfair and Knightsbridge
districts, along with other
shopping and designer outlets,
satisfy many seeking ‘retail
therapy’.
Dukes London is a ‘hidden gem’
and located in the heart of St
James’s, an area which abounds in
history and historic connections. St
James’s Palace was built during the
reign of King Henry VIII and the
area soon became home to royalty,
plus writers, musicians and
politicians. Dukes London
(Boutique five-star Red AA hotel)
offers luxurious accommodation
(80+ guest rooms), plus fine
cuisine, to residents and non-
residents alike.
Dukes Great British Restaurant
(GBR) offers all day dining, with
dishes available as starters or main
The Grapevine
course options. English Burrata
(Roasted onion squash, sage,
toasted pumpkin seeds) is very
popular, with wonderful flavours
and excellent presentation. Chalk
Stream Trout (soft shell crab,
roasted kohlrabi, crab sauce) is a
regular choice too, from an
impressive menu that has
something for everyone, offering
seafood, fish and meats. The ‘Daily
Special’ changes each day, varying
from Cumbrian Lamb Cutlets,
through Salmon, to succulent,
tender Rib-Eye Steak. Desserts can
include Yorkshire Rhubarb and
Lemon Meringue Pie. Executive
Head Chef is Nigel Mendham.
Nigel is passionate about great
British food and ensures, with his
very talented brigade of chefs and
kitchen personnel, excellence at all
times, with outstanding,
complementing flavours.
Dukes Great British Jazz Brunch
will jazz up everyone’s Sunday. This
is style and sophistication, with
bubbles (free-flowing, if you wish),
Cured and Roasted Meats, Lobster
Thermidor Omelette and much
more. Dessert of Raspberry
Cranachan, Waffles, Treacle Tart or
Cheese Selection finishes the
leisurely ‘experience’, wonderfully.

famous martinis and cocktails.

couples enjoying a two-night stay,
plus champagne, chocolate covered
strawberries, breakfasts and three
