What To Do This Weekend 10.07.25

This weekend, head to Mayfair to try Mount St. Restaurant’s limited-edition Retro Menu – a nostalgic, elegant take on classic dinner party dishes. Designed by head chef Jamie Shears, the three-course line-up takes its inspiration from 1970s and 80s British home entertaining, with elevated ingredients and playful presentation. It starts with a melon ball cocktail served with white crab and caviar, followed by chicken à la king encased in a vol-au-vent with black truffle mash. Finish with a slice of Arctic roll and a refreshing strawberry and elderflower sorbet. It’s £80 for three courses, with optional wine pairings available from £44 per head.

Open from morning until late, the kitchen serves a changing, produce-led menu of breakfast favourites, fresh pasta dishes, salads and Mediterranean-inspired small plates. Plus, there’s a bakery counter stocked with buttery pastries and excellent coffee.
