High society: a celebration of our place
'Whether it's a new acquaintance or a rediscovery, dining at The Monday Room feels familiar, due in part to the warm gold-and-red chrysanthemum swirls on the Axminster underfoot and the organic effect of wood against earthy brick. But mostly it is down to the reassuring comfort of good food shared, bolstered by the friendly service of crafted cocktails and artisan wine recommendations.'
