116 Pall Mall Brasserie by Searcys is set inside the Grade I listed home of the Institute of Directors at 116 Pall Mall in St James’s. The Georgian building, opened in 1828, gives lunch, dinner and drinks a grand backdrop of chandeliers, period details and elegant rooms.
The brasserie serves a seasonal British menu with contemporary touches. Starters may move from smoked salmon and prawn ceviche to steak tartare, while fish and chips, market fish, chicken and chargrilled bavette offer a varied choice of main courses.
Vegetable-led cooking is represented through dishes such as potato and ricotta gnocchi, supported by seasonal sides and fresh salads. Proper puddings, including chocolate tart or cheesecake-style desserts, give a polished ending to the meal.
Elsewhere in the building, the Champagne Bar and the garden terrace extend the experience to drinks, light dishes and outdoor dining, subject to events. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should tell staff before ordering so the kitchen can advise on the current menu.
