As you walk through the large iron gates, fairy lights twinkle amongst the quiet tree lined courtyard, leading up to St Ermin’s Hotel. You would never imagine finding an enchanted, secluded hotel that’s quite unbelievably tranquil, in the midst of central London. The hotel is part of Marriot’s Autograph Collection so it’s really no surprise how gorgeous the hotel is. The sweeping staircase, amongst the impressive rococo décor and the grand ballroom are ideal for weddings.

The award winning Caxton Grill is renowned for using the finest ingredients from their rooftop kitchen garden. Mojitos are always a great way to start to an evening, and the one’s at Caxton Grill are just so refreshing.
A basket of warm bread with whipped butter served on a marble stone sets you up for a fantastic meal. The herb crusted rosary goat’s cheese with marinated figs, savoury granola and brioche starter was divine.
The chicken, apricot and pistachio terrine on a bed of coriander and chickpea puree, cous cous, and pickled vegetables, was elevated by the warm chorizo added to the mix.
The succulent pork fillet mignon wrapped in pancetta, with slow roasted, tomato glazed pork belly comes served on an unusual bed of garden peas and black eyed beans. The lovely fried onion rings and potato puree were the perfect accompaniment.
Sometimes desserts can be surprising. A complete explosion of colours and flavours. As was the pistachio parfait with an aerated white chocolate and crisp strawberries. Can’t help but feel intrigued by a dish like this.
The chocolate truffle bar with the cherry yoghurt ice cream was our favourite of all the dishes. The cherry yoghurt was perfectly balanced by the salted caramel and crunchy hazelnuts
.
The service at Caxton Grill is attentive and the low lighting creates a lovely ambience that is just what you would want for a romantic birthday or anniversary dinner. Caxton Grill would even be suitable for a small group celebration. It boasts a private dining room that seats up to ten. Audio-visual packages are also available for corporate hire.
St Ermin’s Hotel is just so dreamy and stunning. Ideal for a fairy-tale wedding in the heart of the city.
