A leisurely lunch or sumptuous afternoon tea in the elegant confines of the St. James's Restaurant at Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly could make any day special. Located on the iconic store's fourth floor, the restaurant focuses on the best of British cuisine created with fine seasonal ingredients.

The St. James's has a table d'hôte menu for lunch which includes such specialities as ballotine of rabbit saddle and Waldorf saddle, seared Dorset scallops, and seared beef Carpaccio. Traditional Sunday lunch serves up roast rib eye of English beef, roasted lemon sole meunière or Sharpham lamb cooked two ways. Desserts of sherry trifle, sticky date pudding or traditional British cheese and biscuits end the meal on a high note. The restaurant's classic afternoon and high teas treat guests to a wonderful array of estate teas from around the world. Such delights as plain and fruit scones with Somerset clotted cream, a variety of finger sandwiches and rolls as well as homemade ginger parkin, raspberry biscuits and madeleines make it a truly memorable occasion.
