Shepherd's is an old fashioned restaurant that is popular with politicians. They serve a variety of uncomplicated English dishes from a set menu including a long pudding list and extensive wine list. Several nooks and crannies allow for more private dining, and a division bell gets round the problem of parliamentary hours interfering with dining arrangements. They cater for vegetarians and private parties of up to 32 people.

All In London Review
MP favourite serves artful interpretations of British classics
Another dish that seems to have been mistranslated is ‘thinly sliced Scottish scallops’. The friend has the forethought to ask if they are cooked, which as it turns out they’re not and are instead made into a ceviche with pickled watermelon; this adds a sweetness we’re not too sure of. Roast cod is a meaty, manly hunk of fish with a flavoursome veggie minestrone, and slow cooked loin of venison is triumphant - a supremely tender slab of meat paired with salted kale and a fruity sauce. Another highlight is the mini duck pie offered as a side dish: it’s magnificently rich, with meat as smooth as rillettes and a buttery potato topping. It’s worth returning for several of these alone and ignoring everything you’ve ever heard about cholesterol.
Unsurprisingly there’s a lengthy wine list that climbs into the hundreds of pounds, but there are a few nice options by the glass like a Pinot Noir for £6.75. The artful interpretation of the menu may be confusing, but there’s heaps to like here.
