Taking Bookings
In the place where the very first Royal License for alcohol was granted, the vaults of The Royal Exchange once again play host to the spirited talk and lively tippling of merchants, heralds and rogues from London and beyond. Enjoy beers, wines and cocktails under the historic arches where lords and traders alike would rub shoulders after a hard days business. And the bottle of whiskey you bought on your last visit? Waiting for you in your own safe, under lock and key.
Formerly famed for the simple pies and smoked fish that would sustain a days trade, The Royal Exchange is now home to a welcoming restaurant. Enjoy wholesome seasonal fare using the best quality produce from lunch till late, with of snacks for the table, starters, seafood dishes, a selection of dry-aged steaks and grande cuts alongside traditional mains and desserts.
As the evening grows later, head to the bar for lively drinks with a libertine spirit.
