The Goring is London's oldest and favourite privately owned 5 star De Luxe hotel, situated in Belgravia, close to London?s most prestigious address, Buckingham Palace, and almost as grand. It has a fabulous Dining Room, created by the world-famous designer and cabinet maker, David Linley, and his talented team. It is also renowned for the quality of its English cuisine, combining tradition with modern touches.

The Dining Room combines state-of-the-art modernity with timeless, classical elegance. The room is decorated in shades of biscuit, cream and caramel. Amazing Swarovski chandeliers float above the diners and change colour, according to the amount of light streaming through the large windows.

David Linley said, 'The Goring is one of the last family-run hotels. It was about trying to preserve tradition. This is the best restaurant in London'.

At the Tio Pepe ITV Awards Ceremony, early in 2005, The Goring received the award of 'Best British Restaurant' and 'Hotel of the Year' at the Catey Awards 2009. And US Travel and Leisure Magazine listed it among its choice of the 100 best hotels in the world.

In the Dining Room, quiet waiters on castered feet hurry to and fro under the watchful eye of the Maître d'. The famous menu changes with the seasons and takes its cue from the very best kind of British country house cooking. This is British food exquisitely cooked and superbly presented and this is cooking that delights the critic as well as the simply hungry.

Specialities include the sensational glazed Scottish lobster omelette, poached fillet of Loch Duart salmon with sea aster, mussel and potato broth, and braised shoulder of Castle of Mey beef with onions, carrots and creamed potatoes. Puddings are a speciality and include poached pear with orange sponge, caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream and a fantastic selection of cheeses from across the British Isles.

The wine list is one of the finest in London, and is personally selected by Jeremy Goring and Managing Director, David Morgan-Hewitt. The Goring is unusual in laying down wine for the future enjoyment of its guests, which means that the prices are often more reasonable than in other quality establishments.

Fay Maschler wrote, 'I love the family-run Goring....an oasis of gentility'.

That is The Goring. Not ostentatious, not stuffy, a very gentlemanly place with lashings of five star quality.
