A Culinary Journey and Lively Evening Entertainment

The bar also offers a beer and cheese pairing experience, adding to its culinary delights.
The bar snacks are a delight, particularly the sharing plates and pre-theatre “sharing stands”, tiered assemblages of savory treats. Live entertainment adds to the vibrant atmosphere, with a pianist performing from Sunday through Thursday, followed by musicians and singers on Fridays and Saturdays.
The spacious, formal Butlers Restaurant, adorned with an over-elaborate style surrounding a central well, provides a refined dining experience. The menu features a selection of British-themed dishes, including a delightful pheasant egg starter, followed by delicious fish and chips or Cornish spring lamb. The restaurant is renowned for its Dover sole, prepared in various ways, including the classic meunière. The “Original Sweetshop Afternoon Tea”, while pricey, is a treat with imaginative sandwiches and inventive pastries inspired by favourite childhood sweets.
The hotel also offers a comprehensive à la carte breakfast menu, creating a relaxed atmosphere. From a full English breakfast to French toast or the moreish crushed avocado with poached eggs and sun-dried tomato, there is something to satisfy every palate.
The Chesterfield Mayfair offers a delightful combination of historic charm, personalized service, and modern comfort, providing an unforgettable experience in the heart of Mayfair.
