Square Meal Review of The Pantechnicon Public House & Dining Room ?

Part of the burgeoning Cubitt House group (The Thomas Cubitt, The Orange, et al), the Pantechnicon’s ground-floor bar is home to a constant stream of business folk, local families & friends looking for a catch-up. The clubby atmosphere – properly distressed buff-leather chairs, washed-out walls, leaded windows & old-fashioned glass lights – extends to the upstairs dining room, which serves excellent steaks & a roster of puffed-up gastropub staples such as smoked-ham-hock terrine with piccalilli & toasted sourdough or rare-breed pork chop with crushed new potatoes, savoy cabbage & cherry jus, plus organic roasts on Sundays. ‘Astounding’ puds such as a fig tart with gingerbread ice cream are a big talking point here – ‘even if you just go for dessert, just go!’ urges one reader. In all, this is ‘good honest food without the steep price tag’.

    My Partner and I had a short time (2weeks) to organise a reception following our Civil Partnership in February
    We needed a venue that could accommodate 30 for lunch and then allow us to stay on through the evening
    The Pantechnicon was a perfect venue for us and all the staff were very helpful and supportive We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality relaxed venue

    I had organsised a private room for my managers & the feedback from them all was very positive – great food – great service & great venue. I found all the staff extremely helpful while organising & even at the 11th hour when we increased the numbers they accomodated us. My manager was so pleased that we have agreed to host the next private dinner there.

    After being closed for refurbishment for a couple of weeks, we, the "locals', were keen to see the new pantechnicon. Love the refurb – much more cosy than before – helped by the fact that one does share elbows with neighbours – all of whom are charming! Espresso Martini as good as ever, fillet steak as good as ever, frites absolutely shockingly bad – have the mash! Great staff – very chatty – very southern hemisphere. Overall, continues to be a good slightly pricey trendy pub – but what can you expect for the location!

    Highly recommend The Pantechnicon(part of The Cubbit House Group)if you want value for money. The service is excellent as well as the food and the atmosphere. My managers have dined in both the private rooms and the main restaurant and have said every time that it is a great venue for both business or personal events.

    I have eaten here for lunch and dinner at least a dozen times and it never disappoints. The portions can be a bit on the small side but then it is nice to have room for pudding and not feel like you are to full at the end. Prices are reasonable, atmosphere buzzy and light and the service attentive most of the time. It is the kind of place that is fun to hang out at and also to have an informal business meal. It is part of the Thomas Cubitt Group of pubs and I have never been disappointed by any of them having eaten at all. In my opinion, they have gotten gastro chain pub dining down to an art.

    I love this place for a cosy lunch and glass of wine! It feels like good country fare in the middle of Belgravia! When I'm craving good honest food without the steep price tag I come here.

    The staff are polite and attentive and the food is wonderful and good value for money. The seared scallops with artichokes and wild mushrooms proved to be a wonderful starter on my last visit to The Pantechnicon. Very tasty and a good sized portion. The pan fried sea bream was spot on and had just the right melt in your mouth texture, the lobster sauce complimented this perfectly. I have heard very good things from friends regarding their juicy steaks here as well as the delicious pork loin with true country style crackling. The desserts I have also been told are lovely.

    Overall a fantastic place to come with friends for lunch or dinner!

    My second time dining here and it’s a nice change from many of the overly precious establishments in the area, that are far more costly and whose food is of a lower standard.

    The first floor dining room is relatively small, but has an almost clubbish rather than pubbish atmosphere being cosy leather chairs, dark wood, subdued lighting and stylish features. The downsides are that being small there is an element of sharing other diners noise (it was Christmas party season when we went so a few large, slightly roudy tables) and on the second time we went a slightly odd and rather too loud musical selection which could have been turned down or changed for something less awful.

    Service is very good, the staff are all helpful, polite, efficient and let you get on with dinner without interfering every 2 seconds or treating you as though you were simpletons, but equally when you've finished you don't sit with an empty plate and you aren't asked to wait ages to get menus, drinks etc.

    Food was good, though would have benefited from being just a bit hotter; in particular the sweet potato soup with crispy potato topping was warm rather than hot, but thick, tasty and something of a bargain. Main course was pistachio crusted rack of lamb – apparently it was going to be served pink but wasn't when it arrived, which wasn't a problem but why bother to ask if this is OK when ordering? Desert was fig tart with gingerbread ice cream – think tart tatin but with figs and you've got it, and very nice it was too!

    Value for money – 3 people, 3 courses, 1 bottle of wine, 1 bottle of water and 1 glass of champagne plus service £165, which is fair enough.

    Would I return for a third time? I will, not least as I wanted everything on the dessert menu. Should you go – yes, simple as that

    My boyfriend and I were pottering around Belgravia on Sunday, famished and in search for a quick bite to eat.

    The eateries we passed looked lacklustre until I remembered a gastro-pub I'd had a drink at during the Summer, The Pantechnicon.

    When we found the pub and presented with a varied, great looking menu, we realised we were there for the long haul – the pub was busy with a great atmostphere.

    Having eaten the Roast lunch and downed a couple of convivial glasses of wine later, we staggered out. Very pleased with the service and the food was excellent. Great value for money too.

    I have already highly recommended The Pantechnicon to a few friends and am heading back this Friday night.

    Last weekend I decided to give the breakfast a try as I was in the area.The Pantechnicon English is everything you would expect a traditional full English to be. I was told the eggs were free range, which is always nice. From the black pudding to the sausage and the beans, I loved every single item on my plate. Top marks.

    We recently went to The Pantechnicon Rooms for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The eggs benedict was probably one of the nicest eggs benedicts I have had in London. The eggs were perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce delicious. The juices available were refreshing and healthy. I particularly liked how we were given complimentary toast and jam upon arrival. The service was pleasant and the ambience calming. What a nice way to start your weekend!

    At last a decent bar and restaurant in Knightsbridge to offer both formal and informal dining. This place is superb, with very friendly and pretty staff whoj looked after us extremely well. We had cocktails to start on the ground floor as the place filled up. Then we went upstairs to one of the most beautiful restaurants I've been to for a long time. The service was impecable and food delicious. The roast pork with crackling is an absolute must – almost better than at home in the country !! Puddings were to die for although we should have had one each instead of sharing.
    Happy to spend the money when food and atmosphere is this good.
