Found in Fulham, West London, Lillie Langtry is a pub and restaurant that is part of the Hippo Inns group and is named after the famous 19th century actress and socialite. The venue is split between a glamorous Victorian-inspired cocktail lounge on the ground floor, the main dining room and a smart streetside terrace that is great for when the sun is shining.
Lillie Langtry is also home to two private dining rooms, while there is also the option to hire out the venue in its entirety. For larger gatherings, opt for The Sir John Balcombe Room; managing to feel both glamorous and cosy, this high-ceilinged space features decadent chandeliers, cosy furniture upholstered in colourful fabrics and a charming fireplace. The room can host up to 50 guests for seated events and up to 100 for standing receptions. If opting for the latter, you can make use of Lillie Langtry’s canape menu, where you might find the likes of Farmhouse sausage rolls, beef sliders and pea and mint risotto balls dipped in a smoked tomato mayonnaise.
For more intimate affairs, look to the Sir John Private Dining Room, which can seat 12 for a celebration dinner. In this stylish room, guests are seated around one rectangular table flanked by pillar box red leather chairs. Candlesticks and whimsical artwork add a sense of romance, while guests can choose between a two- or three-course set menu. Start with the likes of smoked salmon with fennel and celeriac, before moving onto corn-fed chicken or roasted aubergine for your main course. To finish up, choose between an indulgent sticky toffee sundae or cheese with biscuits and chutney.
