Parker’s Tavern marks a homecoming. A return to good, unpretentious British cooking. No fuss. No froth.

Just fresh, honest ingredients, locally sourced and put together on a simple plate. A knife, fork and spoon. Conjured by a spectacular chef.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is the jewel in the crown of classic British feasting: smoked bacon, free range eggs, roasted heirloom tomatoes...
