These Are London’s Best Beef Wellingtons Worth Ordering
The beef Wellington dates back centuries. It was supposedly created for the Duke of Wellington to celebrate his Battle of Waterloo victory – and what a meal! – but now, over 200 years later, London restaurants are still obsessed with the pastry-packed dish. From posh pubs to fine dining, these are the best beef wellingtons in London.
Gordon Ramsay Restaurants
There are few dishes as synonymous with Gordon Ramsay as Beef Wellington, and this October, the chef is taking his signature dish global with Worldwide Wellington. At Bread Street Kitchen, prime British beef is layered in mushroom duxelles and prosciutto then wrapped in golden puff pastry and served with a red wine jus. For something a little grander, Savoy Grill serves its Wellington with truffle, red wine jus, shallot purée and parsley tuile. There’s also a Wellington slice served with broccoli and red wine jus at Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers, while Bread Street Kitchen and Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill offer three-course sharing experiences. And if eating it isn’t enough, the Beef Wellington Masterclass lets you make your own before sitting down to a three-course lunch.

The Spread Eagle
London isn’t short of pubs but when it comes to food options, it’s often the vegan menu items that let them down. That certainly isn’t the case for The Spread Eagle, London’s first 100% vegan pub!
