Dining Room at The Goring Hotel, The

The Goring, London's oldest and favourite privately owned 5 star de Luxe hotel, has acquired a fabulous new Dining Room, created by the world-famous designer and cabinet maker, David Linley and his talented team.

The new 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 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 castored feet hurry to and fro under the watchful eye of the Maitre'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. This is cooking that delights the critic as well as the simply hungry.

Specialities include the sensational lobster omelette, beef Wellington, game (in season), venison, Devonshire lamb, grey legged partridge and grilled calf's liver. Puddings are a speciality and include the award winning sticky marmalade pudding, baked custard tart 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 recently 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.

Their four private dining rooms will accommodate between four and one hundred guests for breakfast, luncheons, dinners, cocktail parties and wedding receptions. For more details, visit their Website.
