What an amazing and privileged experience this was! It was the best lunch we have ever eaten and second only to the dinner where I proposed. The ambience is unrivalled being at the private dining chambers of the House of Lords where the Peers dine. This was only available since Parliament was in recess due to the National Election which happened the day before we dined. Consequently there was lots of buzz surrounding Parliament from the world's media. The food was stunning, fresh, creative and all-around excellent. Worthy of a Michelin star. The staff were professional and also quite excited they were serving members of the public for a change Vs the high and mighty of UK politics. Prior to lunch we had drinks in the Member's bar overlooking the Thames and a look inside the House of Commons. After lunch we had a brief look into the House of Lords and also the Royal Gallery where Queen Elizabeth will walk during the State Opening of Parliament this week to welcome Boris Johnson's new Conservative government. Would love to dine there again and would recommend it to anyone! As a finale, we spent far too much in the excellent gift shop buying Christmas goodies! Rule Britania :)
This is the same review as my last! Such an amazing time, from the first moment of greeting, to the Peer's Bar and then the Peer's Dining room, absolutely incredible. The service and food were the best I have ever encountered! I honestly cannot recommend this highly enough. Absolutely amazing, thank you so much. I honestly thought my last visit could not be bettered but I was wrong! Thank you again

a very special experience in a perfect venue with great food...
Truly outstanding afternoon from start to finish. I never thought I would find myself drinking cocktails in the house of Lords before enjoying a beautiful cooked and presented three course lunch.The staff are just so friend and service is outstanding better than some of London 5* hotels.
Thank you for unforgettable experience... Enjoyed every minute of it... food was excellent, staff were very friendly and everything else was simply beautiful...

This is my second visit. Such a pleasure. Thank you to the attentive and friendly staff who make it so special.
Had an amazing day today Special thank you to george
The whole experience was first class from arrival to departure. All of the staff were very professional, efficient and also attentive. The food was well cooked, presented and cleverly put together. Lots of interesting flavours coming through. The wine seemed good value. A great experience and highly recommended.
The stars were the staff, with the food a close second.
Wonderful
The only thing that needs a review is the standard of the Martini in the Lords bar. It was served in a whisky glass with ice in it! Needs to be vodka or gin, dry vermouth shaken over ice and poured into a martini glass with a twist! Everything else was fabulous thank you.
Very friendly polite and informative staff , could not do enough to make the experience more enjoyable . Thank you and keep up the excellent work . Look forward to the next opportunity to visit you .
Very good
Throughly enjoyable experience
Excellent food & service.
I thoroughly enjoyed my fourth visit to the Peers' Dining Room and would recommend it to all. The staff are excellent and dedicated to ensuring every detail is special. The food was delicious, presented beautifully and I had lots of gluten free options. I have previously brought friends and family who have always been impressed with the magnificent setting and we have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you Peer's Dining Room for a wonderful lunch we will never forget!
A fantastic and unique experience
Can't wait to return!
Absolutely brilliant experience. The staff are amazing. Highly recommended it.
We had the most wonderful time today and would like to thank all the staff for looking after us so well. The food was superb and we will definitely be back when you open to the public again.
Obviously it is a unique experience, but it is worth saying that the food is of a high quality and beautifully presented. What is truly exceptional, however, is the remarkable charm of the staff. They are absolutely lovely and I would like to thank them for making the atmosphere so warm and welcoming.
Amazing lunch! I’ve now been twice in the past month. Starters were amazing
