This Cotswold-esque bolthole, established in 1989, is celebrated for its intimate, bohemian, and clubby atmosphere. Inside, guests are greeted by a carefully curated collection of eclectic oil paintings, original stone fireplaces, and leaded light windows, creating a Bloomsbury club ambiance.

Whether you're starting your day, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or settling in for an evening meal, the Parsonage Grill provides a sophisticated and welcoming setting.
The charm of the Parsonage Grill extends to its delightful walled terrace, shaded by a 200-year-old wisteria, offering a secluded al fresco escape perfect for sunny breakfasts or candlelit dinners. Recently revamped with a Moroccan-inspired vibe, the terrace now features terracotta pots and a trickling fountain, adding an exotic ambiance to the traditional English elegance.

The food is amazing!! They serve the bread warm and the butter is soft, melting on the bread - very nice!! The crab salad was great - highly recommend.
The service was good! We didn’t wait for long to order food or pay the bill. The waiters came to check in a few times during our meal.
The decoration and atmosphere is great too! Lots of art works and plenty space between tables, so we can enjoy our conversation.
Bookings are highly recommended. We booked the night before for Saturday dinner and they only got slots for 5:15pm or 8:30pm.
Really enjoyed the evening. Will come back!
