The Royal Air Force Club — Restaurant in London

As a guest of a member I need to tread carefully. There's a palpable sense of history in this heritage club, located close to the Atheneum and Ritz, opposite Green Park. Clean, smart and well appointed, it befits the RAF tradition. All that said, it's still a little on austere side. We dined in the ground floor restaurant, selecting from a rather Bwitish menu that lacked sparkle. A perennial complaint for Brexit British eateries is the restriction on bread - 1 piece per person is the regulation issue. Nothing extra if you chose soup as a starter! Nicely presented, my haddock and poached egg would have benefited from a chunk of dark rye bread. The roast pork main arrived virtually cold and slightly smaller portion size than I'd hoped for. Reminiscent of dining-in night at a base mess long ago. Dessert did compensate somewhat. Overall, this was an okay lunch experience and probably reasonable value for money given its premiere Central London location. Might just look further afield...

Came here for dinner on remembrance Sunday to meet some of my family. The dining room is beautiful and has the decor you would expect. Everything is very formal and rather old fashioned from the service to the dishes. I admit that it is very efficient and I cannot fault them anywhere, it is just a bit uninspiring. The service has no flamboyance and neither does the food. It is a wonderful place to go but would only return if invited.

Where they earn their 4 stars is when you go upstairs for a drink in the Cowdray Room and there is a fantastic selection of beverages on offer all brought to you while sitting around a fire in a cozy armchair. Could not want anything else from that.

I have included pictures of the bathroom as I don't think I've seen any quite like it. Showers are avalible on...

Private club for RAF officers but open for functions to non members. Cowdray Room serves to die for afternoon teas, restaurant provides a standard range of well cooked food (which is what you want in a Club, go outside to other eateries for an experience) both of which are formal spaces while downstairs is the Running Horse Pub which is informal and provides decent meals like curries, steak and chips, pies and salads. New Business Suite provides office facilities, the Library a quiet place to read, Fitness Centre somewhere to unwind and numerous function rooms can provide formal dinners for 150 down to rooms for informal family parties for 6. Close to Green Park Tube Station, short taxi ride or 38 bus from Victoria...
