The Grade II–listed Punchbowl, one of Mayfair's oldest pubs, is split between the public bar, a more formal dining room, and a reservations-only club. Retaining many of its original 18th-century features (wood panels, cornicing etc), it attracts a young and moneyed crowd sipping cask ales, fine wines and whisky rather than pints of gassy lager.
Pub classics and snacks are served in the pub (small plates £5 to £8), while the dining room aspires to greater things in dishes such as bass with crab-crushed potatoes, wilted spinach and sauce américaine (mains £16 to £27).
