A hard-working, all-hours restaurant offering breakfast (plus brunch at weekends) and afternoon tea, as well as lunch and dinner, DST is part of the fashionable hotel of the same name. It’s housed in handsome Georgian buildings that once also held Soho legend the Gargoyle Club; the whole complex belongs to the Soho House group. The dining room has a classical look, pepped up with modern art.
A seasonal, weekly changing menu might start with ham hock broth, Lancashire cheese and onion tart, or razor clams with wild boar and garlic, and move on to grilled Rye Bay plaice, roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing or a salad of smoked pigeon, scotch quail eggs and puy lentils. There’s a roast on Sundays, and a vegetarian menu (though this centres on unexciting cheese and egg dishes). Food is good, if not revelatory, but then it doesn’t need to be – this is a popular, buzzy place, filled with everyone from groups of creatives and theatregoers to lone business diners. All are treated to proficient service from a well-drilled crew. The drinks menu ranges wide, and thanks to the bar includes many cocktails (there’s even a bloody mary menu).
