The Palace Lounge
The Palace Lounge, adjoining the bar, is a magnificent bright open space with panoramic views of The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, the Queen's stables. It’s the perfect place to start your day with a morning coffee and delicious pastries. Enjoy a Royal Afternoon Tea experience from 12 noon.
In the evening, the Palace Lounge is the ideal place to enjoy a light meal, or for private drinks receptions for up to 80 people.
Please be advised we do require 24 hours notice to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free Afternoon Tea requests. Unfortunately, we cannot cater to dietaries that require both gluten-free and dairy-free options. Our range of Afternoon Teas can also be ordered or collected.
We kindly request that you book online. We are also able to accommodate requests and make arrangements for special occasions through our online booking system. Should you have any further queries, please contact us at diningrb@rchmail.com
The classic
We start with a frozen glass, chilled to 22 degrees below. A dash of vermouth first, then gin as cold as the glass. It’s poured all the way to the rim, so there’s only one way to drink it: our trademark Egerton Slurp. Trust us – it’s the only way to avoid spilling a single drop.
We normally finish things off with a single squeeze of lemon rind, nothing more, nothing less. Times have changed since the first martinis 130 years ago though, so if you prefer vodka to gin, we’re happy to make the switch.
We strongly advise one thing; whatever the spirit, treat it gently. As far as we’re concerned, our martinis are never shaken, never stirred, always perfect.

Martini Masterclass
Our Martini Masterclass with our talented bar team is the perfect way to spend an informative and enjoyable (not to mention a delicious) hour. Sahbi will begin by explaining the history and origins of martini; tell you a little bit about his own background, and divulge his top tips in order to make the perfect martini yourself. There will be the opportunity to taste the magnificent martini creations and enjoy homemade canapés of tomato and mozzarella bruschetta, smoked salmon with crushed avocado on cape seed loaf, and coronation chicken on brown bread.
