Blackfriars Restaurant

Bored with the usual places to go for lunch? Don’t fancy another sandwich on the go? Join us at Blackfriars Cookery School for more dynamic lunch with our 1-hour Express cookery classes. This workshop looks at the pre Spanish invasion Mexican street food: taco’s. Made with either corn or flour tortillas and a multitude of fillings, this taco workshop will delight your taste buds with a spicy tingle and citrus burst. Learn to make the classic corn tortilla and traditional Mexican fillings for a sure fire lunch time treat.

Have some fun with a bespoke cocktail masterclass from one of our dedicated mixologists. Learn how to make three amazing cocktails from the experts and then get to drink them afterwards. You’ll enjoy a glass of fizz on arrival together with canapés to soak it all up - what’s not to like?!

When it comes to food, Christmas day often proves to be a battle of the senses. From the traditional smoked salmon or a stomach-lining bacon sandwich to the main event when we devour piles of roast meats, stuffed birds, pimped-up greens and crispy roasties, we rarely go hungry! But as joyful as a festive feast can be, the question we often ask ourselves: what wine should we drink? Enjoy our liquid recommendations for every part of the day – from morning bubbles through to evening Port.
