The Stafford London, Saint James's Place, London, United Kingdom
Ben Provost, Bar Manager became Bar Manager in 1997, replacing the late and beloved Charles, who, having served for 42 years at The Stafford, would be proud to see the high standards and jovial atmosphere of the bar still going strong. Mr Provost says: “We see the same guests returning year after year. It's so lovely meeting their families, watching their children grow up…I know they feel like they're coming home when they visit us.”

- THE LYTTELTON
The Lyttelton restaurant, named after former residents Lord and Lady Lyttleton, has been designed to evoke the intimacy of dining in a friend's home though remaining elegantly classic with an ivory and gray colour palette, rich floral fabrics, unique artwork, and custom-crafted chandelier. Menus feature Executive Chef Carlos Martinez's take on British cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. To further showcase Chef Martinez's culinary creations an "open stage" custom-crafted marble buffet table presents diners with a changing display of distinct dishes using the finest local and seasonal ingredients.
- Bars & Lounges:
- THE AMERICAN BAR
The American Bar at The Stafford is an institution in its own right. This lively gathering spot has, over the years, developed into a complete history of the hotel itself, decorated with thousands of items of customer-donated memorabilia from around the globe. Today, every available wall and surface is crammed with an intriguing collection of artifacts, knick-knacks and signed celebrity photographs. Even the ceiling is hung with a colourful collection of club ties, sporting mementoes and baseball caps.
THE LOUNGE
The Lounge offers a relaxed and inviting setting for Afternoon Tea or a light daytime meal. The décor of the recently-refurbished lounge echoes that of The Lyttelton, making it an ideal spot for pre or post-dinner cocktails. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily; cocktails are on offer throughout the day. Afternoon Tea is served from 3.00pm to 6.00pm.
