Breakfast is a speciality, where a Full English, bacon sandwich or a fresh fruit salad awaits the hungry traveller, often enjoyed in the sunny kitchen diner. Underneath the spectacular St. Pancras canopy, the terrace serves an all day menu of Brit favourites such as beer battered Fish & Chips, homemade pies and bread and butter pudding. At the bar a wide choice of ales awaits! The specially brewed Betjeman ale, a range of fine European wines and continental lagers would make a fine accompaniment to a hearty meal, enjoyed bar side or in their elegant dining room.
