For some teams and friend groups, breakfast is the best time to meet. Our set‑menu makes hosting effortless: a welcoming glass of bubbles, plates of Benedict and other favourites, and a room that feels bright and inviting.
It’s a morning celebration with all the hospitality and none of the decision‑making.

Meet The Old Vic After Dark.
The lights drop, the rooms soften, and everything feels a little more intimate with dishes that match the tone — eye fillet with porcini jus, lamb with olive tapenade, market fish over white bean and brown‑butter puree.
