As comfortable as an old friend, as exciting as a stranger and as colourful as the lover you are about to meet. At the new Statesman Hotel we have taken 54 years of history and revamped it with some scandal and a playful nod to the 70s.Delicious food served with a soupçon of scandal in our fabulous new restaurant, featuring a big open kitchen so you can watch our award-winning chef and her team create mouth-watering dishes from the brand-new menu. Savour our hand-picked wine list or BYO from the Statesman's very own bottle shop.

Service and people very nice, atmosphere was great but steak was plain and overpriced (disappointing). Nonetheless we’ll be back and I’ll lower my expectations on food - it’s a pub!

We sat outside looking towards the lake and the High Court building. Was a bit warm but sheltered from the sun. Food was served promptly and was very good.
