The Footman is a historic pub at 5 Charles Street in Mayfair, with roots reaching back to 1749. Spread across several floors, it combines the relaxed welcome of a neighbourhood bar with comfortable dining rooms and private spaces for celebrations or business gatherings.
The food menu gives British pub cooking a modern presentation. Seasonal starters and lighter plates lead into substantial choices such as fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, burgers and carefully prepared meat or fish dishes.
Sunday lunch brings traditional roasts and their familiar accompaniments, while desserts offer a comforting finish. Cask and keg beer, wine, spirits and alcohol free drinks are selected to cover both a quick visit to the bar and a full meal upstairs.
The pub is family friendly and dog friendly, and food is served from midday every day. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should use the current allergen information and speak directly with the team before ordering.
Address: 5 Charles Street, Mayfair, London W1J 5DF, England
