About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Good for business meals
A grand brasserie set in the heart of London, Holborn Dining Room serves up seasonal, locally sourced British cuisine with a modern and contemporary twist in a vibrantly bustling dining salon.

Our stunning restaurant is 'the' place for enjoying a convivial meal with friends, a spontaneous pint of local lager and a delicious steak. Alternatively, opt for one of our world-famous pies, prepared lovingly by our "Chief Pie Maker" in our Pie Room - all paired with fine wine and served by our friendly and well-trained team.

On Wednesday evenings, we offer guests the opportunity to enjoy some amazing beef wellington, a classical and decadent British dish, and on Sundays the Chef's talents are on display with a delicious Sunday Roast menu.

For drinks, before or after your meal, guests are welcome to join us at the copper-topped Gin Bar offering London’s largest collection of gin as well as other classic cocktails, spirits, wines and craft beers.

    We booked our reservation for Wednesday in order to try the special Wellington. The restaurant was barely half full and our reservation was at 7:45 and the Wellington was no longer available. The pie was good but the rest of the food was bland. Music was awful and we just wanted to get out in order to cure our headache.

    Beautiful restaurant . Very attentive service and good food. I particularly liked the scallops as a starter. It is pricey

    We had an amazing time at the Holborn Dining Room. We tried the pies - lamb and chicken, crab tart, oysters, prawns, and the rib eye and all were wonderful. Service was top-notch and the beautiful interior set the mood for the evening.

    Staff were great, but our steaks were very average, but you are paying premium prices

    Service was great but the food didn't hit the mark for us. Pies were amazing but our sides were just about warm and lacking flavour. Dessert was a real disappointment. Sadly many better venues at this price point.

    We found the fish pie to be a bit salty so do eat it with the mash potatoes and veg!

    Starters were excellent however the main courses were certainly not at the same standard as their starters. Service was very poor, numerous times requests were made and forgotten about. Sadly just a generally disappointing meal all round.
