A stylish destination Restaurant and Champagne Bar, that combines the romance of travel from a bygone era and fabulous, quintessentially British dining. Modelled by Martin Brudnizki, the well-known designer also behind Scott’s and The Ivy and situated on the Upper Concourse of the grandly restored St Pancras International.

At St Pancras Grand, Chris Dines has created a splendid and very British style of menu including old-fashioned favourites to modern-day classics. The Champagne Bar is open daily from 7am for breakfast right through until midnight serving a wide selection of Champagnes, an all day snack menu and afternoon tea. The Restaurant is open daily from 11am to Midnight and is the perfect place for a meeting, coffee, afternoon tea, lunch or dinner. The Oyster Bar is also stunning and the perfect place to stop for drinks with friends.

>From St Pancras Grand Champagne Bar guests can take in the magnificence of the station, while the St Pancras Grand Restaurant has a romantic, glamorous and modern interior, glowing spheres light the room and high ceilings reach up to the Dutch gold leaf ceiling, creating a rich and warm feel.

>From private parties for a few close friends to a product launch for a few hundred, the St Pancras Grand has everything you need to make it a successful and memorable occasion. For smaller events our individual booths and wings can be reserved in the Champagne Bar and in the Restaurant, the Oyster Bar, Whisky Bar, Communal Table and Private Dining Room can all be reserved individually or combined to make a larger space for your event.

All In London Review

Travellers will take a wonderful impression of British cuisine with them

Owned by Searcy’s - the same group that owns 40/30, the restaurant atop the Gherkin - the St. Pancras Grand is situated on the Upper Concourse of St. Pancras Station, right above the Eurostar platform. My luxurious Friday night meal was suddenly looking more like a haphazard snack while trying to ignore the trains roaring past.

But in fact, despite its location, the layout is such that you completely forget you are at a busy terminal. The orb lighting is peaceful and the décor is soothing, elegant leather banquettes are laid out uniformly, with plenty of space between each table.

A trip to the toilets revealed they had chosen to keep the original enormous Victorian floor to ceiling doors and windows, the latter covered with long heavy drapes, giving this area an eerie, dreamlike quality. The sheer size and weight of the door made me think of very old school buildings and Dickens novels.

The menu is unashamedly British; the slow roasted pork belly with apple and grape chutney. The meat was tender, with a thin crispy layer of skin on top, and a bed of mashed potato which had soaked up the sweet sauce.

My dining partner had it a little more complicated; being a vegan there was nothing she could order. Even the salads had cheese, however our waitress was happy to oblige and asked the chef to remove the blue cheese from her walnut, cooked apple and red lettuce salad, which she was immensely happy with.

For desserts we chose a good old fashioned pear crumble and a raspberry sorbet, with Eau de Vie as a dessert wine. The crumble was light, and lacking the usual heaviness British puddings tend to have, the subtle hint of prunes of the Eau de Vie was a good accompaniment.

There's an adjacent Champagne and Oyster Bar, however it lacks the comfort and isolation from the hustle and bustle that the restaurant provides. Catering to business travellers, prices are not over the top as our meal came to around £70. Many diners here tonight were no doubt on their way to another European destination, but thanks to St. Pancras Grand they’ll be able to take a wonderful impression of British cuisine with them.

To those of you who already love oysters - you know what all the fuss is about...

This Searcy’s venue above the Eurostar Terminal boasts the longest champagne bar in Europe. Snack on oysters or the seafood platter with cockles, prawns, lobster and crab meat; alternatively the restaurant menu has more substantial British dishes.
