The Goring (bar)

Frequented by lords and ladies, A-listers, politicians and their wives, The Goring's distinguished bar not only serves as a playground for the rich and famous, but satisfies expectations with its exquisite drinks and nibbles. Explore the prestigious global wine list or settle into one of the plush leather couches with a cocktail made by one of the well-mannered bartenders. Aside from supping and people-watching, this model of elegance and proper decorum is just the spot if you require a little sustenance – perhaps smoked salmon and Cornish crab sandwiches or goujons of sole with chips. The Goring's popular afternoon tea menu sees guests spilling into the bar and lounge as well as the conservatory, while the veranda and outdoor terrace find favour on sunny days. No electronic devices, please.
