Grade II listed upmarket gastropub in an upmarket area but with a warm welcome. Dating from 1729, licensed in 1786 and rebuilt in 1792 after a fire, it served as a magistrates’ court in its early days and was later home to the last public bar in Mayfair, alas no more. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was a favourite haunt of the servants employed by the large houses in Grosvenor Square. Its wartime appearance was featured in the "Roll out the Barrel" DVD of pub shorts.

Ground-floor bar, first-floor restaurant and second-floor Club private dining room. Food times given are for the ground-floor pub, the first-floor restaurant has an afternoon gap in service apart from Sunday. For those taking breakfast, note that alcohol may not be served until 10am, or noon on Sunday.

Grade II listed, Historic England ref 1357029.
