Exceptional & unique
An exquisite gem hidden in the heart of London, we are proud to be honoured as one of the World's Most Luxurious Hotels.
The English Grill
With a British Chef and Maître d’Hôtel, The English Grill is quintessentially authentic English, using some of the finest produce from the British Isles. The restaurant showcases traditional service by friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the dining experience is accompanied by an extensive wine list, including a fine selection from Bouchard Finlayson, our vineyard in South Africa.
The menu offers signatures classics, including salads, steaks, desserts and dishes from our Founder and President, Mrs Beatrice Tollman, and all meats are grilled to perfection in our charcoal fired Josper Grill. The glass wall overlooking the pass allows guests to watch some of the action taking place in the kitchen.
The English Grill is proud to hold two AA Rosettes.
Fishing
From fly fishing lessons to half and full day trips, Frank will tailor your experience to suit your ability. Suitable for beginners and competent fishermen alike, the majority of fishing trips take place from hand-crafted 19ft clinker traditional wooden boats on Lough Corrib. Opt for a full day experience and you will enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the islands and the chance to cook your catch!
For competent fishermen, we also offer fishing on nearby Lough Mask and Lough Carra, or further afield in Connemara. The Cong River at the hotel is a great option for very experienced and able-bodied salmon fishermen.
All fishing gear is supplied. We recommend you dress in warm, waterproof clothing, boots and bring sunglasses.

Frank has been living by Lough Corrib his entire life – so no one knows the lough, and of course the fish, quite as well!
