Long Room Dinners
Join us for a delightful wine dinner in our exclusive Long Room. In a tranquil courtyard behind our historic London Shop you'll find The Townhouse, Pickering Place: London's smallest public square and the location of our historically important William and Mary townhouse. Once inside the Long Room in this elegant venue you and your guests will be away from the frantic pace of the capital.
The Long Room, refurbished by celebrated interior designer Nina Campbell, boasts period décor and specially commissioned furniture ensuring complete comfort in classic surroundings.
With just twelve guests seated at the imposing polished table, our top wine specialists will share their vast knowledge with you on a one-to-one basis, leading you through a line-up of peerless wines (minimum of five), all perfectly paired with an exquisite dinner that will be cooked for you by our talented Head Chef, Stewart Turner.

Description
The French wine-loving Anne McHale MW has always had a soft spot for the wines of New Zealand too, so what better pairings to match alongside each other than the French classics with their Kiwi counterparts? You will pit white Burgundy against Nelson Chardonnay, red Burgundy against Central Otago Pinot Noir, and Claret and Rhône against their New Zealand equivalents from Hawke’s Bay. The best part of the evening is that the wines will be served blind, so you will genuinely find out what your favourite wine in each pair is. An accompanying four-course menu from our genius team of chefs will complete the evening and stimulate lively discussion about the best pairings.
