What it’s renowned for

  • Champagne. Champagne is at the heart of Searcys, from the iconic
    Champagne Bar at St Pancras to Champagne-led experiences across its
    restaurants and bars. Look out for Searcys Selected Cuvées alongside an
    extensive Champagne list and a growing selection of English sparkling wine.
  • Seasonal dining. Searcys restaurants each have their own character, with
    menus shaped around seasonal British produce and the personality of each
    venue. From the brasserie at St Pancras to Italian cooking at Osteria Locatelli
    and dining overlooking London at The Portrait Restaurant, there’s plenty to
    explore.
  • A venue with a story. One of the best things about Searcys is the locations
    themselves. Whether you’re dining inside the Barbican, overlooking the
    rooftops of London from The Portrait Restaurant, visiting The Pump Room in
    Bath or enjoying Champagne beside Battersea Power Station, every venue
    offers a different experience.
