The Sanctuary House Restaurant is the dining destination at The Sanctuary House Hotel, 33 Tothill Street in Westminster. The grand nineteenth century building combines hotel comfort with the welcoming character of a Fuller’s Ale and Pie pub. Its location near Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and St James’s Park makes it a convenient choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink after exploring central London.
Breakfast begins with a generous continental buffet for hotel guests, alongside dishes cooked to order. Eggs Benedict and a Full English provide more substantial starts, allowing diners to choose between pastries and lighter selections or a classic hot plate. The early service and comfortable pub setting also suit guests preparing for a busy day around Westminster.
Deep filled pies are a defining part of the menu, served with gravy and the traditional trimmings. A pie and pint tasting board gives diners a way to sample the pub’s specialities, while fillings range from hearty spicy chicken Madras to a vegetarian spicy chickpea option. Seasonal signature dishes and daily specials broaden the choice beyond the dedicated pie selection.
The bar supports the food with Fuller’s ales, modern craft beer and familiar cask classics, making a carefully matched pint a natural companion to the pub dishes. Families, hotel guests and local diners can all settle into the same relaxed space, with food served from morning until late. The result is an accessible Westminster dining room built around British pub traditions and warm hospitality.
