The menu looks like playing cards and each signature cocktail is inspired by one of London iconic venues. Not only that, but the menu also tells you what or who exactly inspired that cocktail, so you also have the chance to learn interesting facts about London’s history.
‘London’s Kings Cross Station’ cocktail

‘London’s Kings Cross Station’, for example, is a salted caramel flavoured cocktail topped with cream and served in a glass ice cream cone. It’s inspired by Swiss entrepreneur, Carlo Gatti, who made ice cream accessible to the Victorian public. One of his original wells still exists near Kings Cross Station. This cocktail is available in alcohol free version.
‘The Strand’ cocktail

‘The Strand’ is a refreshing blend of raspberry, cucumber and elderflower boozy iced tea. This cocktail is served in a disco ball and inspired by the first Twinings Tea Shop which opened on the Strand in 1719. Author of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen often visited the shop whenever she was in London to visit her brother, Henry.
‘Fleet Street’ cocktail

‘Fleet Street’ is a black ink dark cherry Martini, that pays homage to the famous Fleet Street which has been regarded as the heart of British printing and publishing since the 16th century. And – of course – notorious for the murderer barber, Sweeny Todd.
The cocktail comes with an ink bottle that you need to open and pour the (dr)ink into your glass yourself.
Craving something simpler?
Classic cocktails, soft drinks and a selection of wine and beer are also available to wet your throat during your visit.
The food menu is just as creative as the cocktail menu.
Go big with ‘The Cash Cow’ beef burger, stuffed with smoked streaky bacon, melted mature cheese, tomato, pickle, lettuce and onion, served with skin-on chips in a metal boot? Not a fan of beef? Switch to vegan patty!

Boost your energy with ‘The High Flyer’ chicken burger, seved with trimmings of marinated chicken, rainbow slaw, chipotle mayo and skin-on chips.
Craving something lighter? ‘The Jailbird’ is a house Cesar Salad with roasted chicken breast, sourdough croutons, and house Cesar dressing.
Not starving but want some nibbles?
Choose ‘The Banker’s Share’ if you’re with company. It’s baked Camembert with warm baked bread and chutney.
‘Roll with’ some curried sausage rolls with chutney, ‘Deep Dive’ into some crispy calamari and Aleppo chilli served with homemade tartar sauce or celebrate your ‘Sweet Victory’ with corn ribs with house salsa and plant based feta.
Make sure you leave space for ‘Mr Monopoly’s Millionaire Cheesecake’, ‘The Prize Brownie’ or ‘The Top Hat Finest Eton Mess’ at the end of your dinner.
