Autumn in London, made for two.

Start with a late morning tucked under the covers, wander through Green Park as the leaves begin to turn, stop somewhere in Mayfair simply because it catches your eye, then return for dinner, drinks and a night that doesn’t need much of a plan.

Some weekends are better when there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.

British Food Fortnight starts in the kitchen, but it reaches far beyond it.

At 116, we’re celebrating the British ingredients on our menu and the people whose work makes every dish possible.

This year, we’re also supporting RABI, helping farming people and their families through the challenges and pressures of working in the industry. Throughout British Food Fortnight, guests dining with us can choose to add an optional £1 donation to their bill, with every contribution going directly to RABI.

A small gesture, with meaning well beyond the plate.

Cornish lobster, done simply and properly.

Served with linguine, confit tomato sauce and parsley, our Cornish lobster is all about letting the quality of the produce lead the plate.

Sourced from the Cornish coast through trusted suppliers, it’s the kind of dish that says plenty without needing too much fuss.

Negroni Week calls for one thing: a proper Negroni.

So we asked Poppy, one of our mixologists at The Athenaeum, behind the bar as she made ours.

It starts with a chilled glass, our own Athenaeum Gin inspired by the Living Wall, and fresh orange and lemon from Watts Farms. And if you ask Poppy what to have with it, she’ll point you towards the charcuterie board or baked Camembert at 116.

A classic, with a few details that make it unmistakably ours.

Meet Jason, the calm at the heart of reception.

He’s there for the first hello, the last minute question, the returning guest he recognises straight away and all the little moments in between that make a stay feel more personal.

For Jason, it’s never just about checking in. It’s about making sure you feel at home before you’ve even reached your room.
