All Day Dining

When in the Donovan Bar, lunch as Donovan does. That means long, lively and possibly running into the afternoon. Michelin-starred chef Adam Byatt has created a menu of progressive nostalgia. Highlights include Brown’s spiced steak tartare with fries, an endive, apple and walnut salad with a Roquefort dressing and watercress, and Adam’s signature coronation chicken sandwiches. Polish it all off with a vanilla creme brulee, or panna cotta with crushed strawberries. Pitch up in the naughty corner, grab yourself a martini, and take your time.
