Set at the junction of Upper Woburn Place and a delightful Dickensian walkway, Number Twelve provides a relaxed atmosphere to diners who wish to engage in deep conversations without worrying about being overheard or disturbed. A neutral décor with pillar-box red accents and a stylish interior gives a modern, clean feeling to the dining area.

The kitchen takes advantage of the best produce the market has to offer and chef Stuart Lane has devised an impressive menu that covers a whole range of locally sourced ingredients from seafood, fowl, vegetarian and meat. Contemporary British cooking with an Italian undertone is on offer and you may expect the likes of poach sole fillets with herb crust, puree potato and garden vegetables or baked sea-bass served with new potato, green bean and pesto salad.

The well-travelled wine list has over 15 selections available by glass or by carafe to complement your meal.
