The menu here is a true reflection of seasonal produce and culinary creativity. Some of our standout favorites include:
- Watermelon & Feta Salad: A delightful mix of sweet and savory flavors.
- Grilled Salmon Fillet: Served with seaweed mash, radish, and samphire salad, this dish bursts with fresh taste.
- Roasted Chicken Breast: Accompanied by soft polenta and blistered tomatoes, it’s a comforting classic that hits all the right notes.
- Grilled Lamb Rump: Accompanied by an artful puree of aubergine and tahini, this dish is a showstopper.
- Fish & Chips: A quintessential British dish redefined with beer batter, mushy peas, and tartare sauce.
The Anthologist also shines in its culinary ethos by committing 50p from each sold grilled salmon fillet to support Maggie’s, a charitable cause aiding those affected by cancer. It’s wonderful to indulge in delicious food while simultaneously contributing to meaningful support.
Moreover, the restaurant doesn’t just serve food; it crafts experiences. Events from the exciting Buck N Bull Country Brunch to the lively Motown gospel brunch offer diners a chance to enjoy not just great cuisine but also enchanting performances.

“ First time here and I'll definitely become a regular! Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, gorgeous food, and music to die for!! What a great venue for any type of occasion, or just to eat and drink. ”
“ A real local treasure in the heart of the city. It's somewhere for local business people to meet, eat and drink during the week, as well as a vibrant, upbeat, buzzing bar and restaurant for anyone to frequent in the evening. Various different events happening over the weekend that keep the schedule interesting, make sure you look what's coming up and get a ticket. Couldn't be more complimentary of Tom, the GM as well as the events team including Eva and Zoe. A real pleasure to work with. The Buck N Bull Country Brunch is also simply epic!!!! ”
“ The Motown gospel brunch was phenomenal. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed our drinks. Diana was a friendly, switched on server. The staff were very busy and it was sometimes difficult to catch their eye - but it didn’t spoil anything for us. The music and performance - and the atmosphere in general - was really something special. We are already making plans to come back! ”
“ Had a Breakfast meeting here recently and I loved it. It was quite convenient for the group meeting and the complementary food and drinks from them were great as well. I realized the restaurant was either run by the brand D&M (Drake & Morgan); not so sure about it but the Menu card had their inscription. Maybe I will ask about it when I go back because I definitely have to go back when I am in Central London. People asked about the place as soon as I made a post on facebook so I definitely recommend! ”
“ Diana our server was lovely. Very attentive and looked after our dog Charlie with some treats. Never thought this place would be dog friendly but they have an excellent dog menu. Lovely human food too Thank you ”
“ Attended for a gospel Motown brunch. Tickets booked in advance, lots of communication ahead of time. Welcomed on arrival and sat quickly. Service was good- attentive without being obtrusive. Food was good given the scale it was coming from the kitchen. Only area of note, despite a vast quantity of staff, was difficult at times to get someone’s attention. Staff would have eye contact but still walk past. Otherwise great & this would not deter from returning! Thank you Anthologist! ”
“ GG was great service and very good at recommending the right dishes. Really enjoyed the baked Alaska that he advised. You must give it a go, but maybe not if you have another meeting I would have added a photo but I videoed it and can’t upload! ”
“ Attended on Sunday for their Motown Gospel brunch for my mum's birthday. We had the best time! the choir were amazing! Special mention to our server Jen, she had to put up with 21 of us all demanding her attention and she did it all with a smile. Top notch service! Thank you! ”
