Feasting on Bookatable's limited edition set menu at The Gilbert Scott
value food menu desserts
We’re therefore very excited to try out the limited edition Feast on London deals, available throughout the month of April.
After a lot of deliberation, and menu comparisons, we finally decide to go for the Feast On London menu at The Gilbert Scott.
After taking a seat at one the plump seats in the curved hall, we take a look throught the Feast On London set menu… Foie gras & chicken liver parfait practically calls out to us, and we oblige by ordering it as a starter.
We love the dark and brilliantly rich chocolate cremeux with orange sorbet and crushed pistachio, and share it like good friends should.
Using the Bookatable Feast on London set menu is a great way to dine out in London.

In the splendid dining room of his new restaurant at St Pancras Station, I overheard a woman ask, "Who is this Gilbert Scott bloke anyway?"
Sir George Gilbert Scott was the architect of the Midland Grand Hotel, that masterpiece of Victorian Gothic which looms over the Euston Road – and now the Eurostar terminal – like a mad old uncle who won't accept that the days of Empire are over.
The Gilbert Scott sits in the heart of the building, in the same space as the hotel's original restaurant, and can be reached through a busy bar area, or through the cathedral-like hush of the hotel.
Just as Heston Blumenthal has done at Dinner, Wareing and his protégé Chantelle Nicholson have taken inspiration from old cookery books to create their own thoroughly British version of brasserie cooking.
"All the tastes of home and youth..." The Gilbert Scott may be a brasserie, but the starter portions struck us as rather dainty.

The Gilbert Scott restaurant is named after the Victorian architect of the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras, just one of the many buildings he designed in a long career (The Albert Memorial is another well-known example of his work).
The Gilbert Scott is the second restaurant of Marcus Wareing, situated in what is now the Renaissance Hotel in the attractively restored St Pancras, actually opening in May 2011.
It is a seven day a week brasserie operation rather than a fine dining restaurant, emphasising modern interpretations of classic British dishes (with nods to Mrs Beeton amongst others) in a large space that can seat 115 diners.
The salmon had good taste though beetroot is quite a strong flavour to be pairing with it; however the salmon flavour still came through fairly well (13/20).
The bill was really the main issue here, since at this price level you can find better food in London, but The Gilbert Scott has a lot going for it: an attractive room, an appealing menu, competent food and good service.

Housed in the glamorous St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, Gilbert Scott is one of London's finest bars offering up a cocktail list to get anyone excited a well as some fantastic bar food to boot.
With its ornately painted ceiling and bell chandeliers, the venue looks every inch the decadent hotel bar.
Try their house cocktail, the 1873, (named after the year the hotel first opened) which is made from Bombay Sapphire, apple, cranberry and rhubarb all served up from a stylish soda siphon.
The bar opens from 11am every weekday and from 10am at weekends for an awesome brunch menu and also serves a traditional afternoon tea from 12pm on Friday to Sundays.

The Gilbert Scott, London NW1, restaurant review - Telegraph
location food ambience drinks
The curving room looks beautiful in a grandiose, Victorian way, with high, ornately corniced ceilings, massive wrought-iron chandeliers, distressed mirrors, Pullman-esque banquettes and imposing oil paintings of forests and seascapes.
Meanwhile, an erudite, punctiliously Victorian menu – mulligatawny, Kentish pigeon in a pot, Mrs Beeton’s snow eggs (not a prototype fertility treatment, by the way, but a toffee pudding) – that might have seemed thrillingly retro-original a year ago, before Heston Blumenthal’s sensational recreation of ancient native recipes at Dinner, now looks a touch bandwagonesque.
I kicked off with field mushrooms on sippets (chef-ese for toast), a decent dish enlivened by a rich red wine sauce and tiny chunks of bone marrow, but somehow more of a savoury than a starter.
Puddings, always a Wareing strong point, were excellent, my Kendal mint cake choc ice building elegantly on the splendid work pioneered long ago by Wall’s; and my friend’s Manchester tart (supply your own Ryan Giggs gags at will) proving a “powerfully intense” collation of bananas, custard raspberry jam and rum cream.
Despite some highly favourable reviews, a feeling in my bones insists that The Gilbert Scott will have the briefest of encounters with being a destination joint before quietly sliding into irrelevance.

location food
The Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras station, masterpiece of the great Victorian architect George Gilbert Scott, was a national embarrassment for decades.
The great sweeping frontage on Euston Road looks gleamingly fresh, and, just as Gilbert Scott imagined, there is direct access from the hotel to the station concourse.
His second restaurant would be big news wherever it was, but the location in the reborn St Pancras hotel makes it even more of an occasion.
It does it in the best way: by turning that heritage into things you can eat, such as Suffolk mutton balls with lentils, Dorset jugged steak or (my starter) bacon and pork "olives", a delicious forcemeat served with a salad of thinly sliced onions, little gem lettuce and mustard dressing.
The Gilbert Scott is the fourth important London opening this year, after Dinner, St John Hotel, and Pollen Street Social.
Restaurant Review – The Gilbert Scott | The London Economic

At one end of the spectrum, Marcus at The Berkeley in Knightsbridge is the chef’s two Michelin-starred mother ship, offering one of the best fine dining experiences in London.
On the ground-floor of the Renaissance Hotel in St. Pancras Station, The Gilbert Scott focuses on a quintessentially British menu that’s served in one of London’s more attractive dining halls – providing you’re able to find it.
As is the case with Marcus Wareing’s other restaurants, dishes are described as a list of key ingredients.
Alone, the croquettes are the best imaginable example of comfort food available, but the bed of cheesy sauce knocks the dish’s balance.
Regardless, the better dishes served do make The Gilbert Scott the best train station restaurant in London (if not the whole country).
