Escape to the Folly & relax in this botanically inspired haven from the Drake & Morgan Collection. Wander through our garden lounge & flower shop or dine at the chef’s table. A sanctuary of calm, our unique private dining room, deli, & collection of private vaults make the perfect retreat for entertaining friends.
Open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner & drinks, the Folly can meet your needs any time of the day. There are a wide range of both classic & quirky cocktails alongside a large wine list. Sharing plates and bar snacks are available alongside a carefully crafted seasonal menu, whilst music & a late license until the early hours on Thursday & Friday make the Folly the perfect place to start & end the party. Our botanical-inspired haven has lush social spaces and dining areas stretching over two floors as well as a beautiful private dining room.
We're thrilled to bring back a sensation from last year: the UK’s very first Espresso Martini Bar, returning to for a second year as we transformed the Deli into a velvet-draped, vintage-inspired hideaway.
This is no ordinary cocktail lounge. Step inside The Absolut Hideaway, our intimate escape where six exceptional variations of the iconic espresso martini take centre stage, each crafted with premium Absolut Vodka, Kahlúa, and exquisite garnishes. The aroma of freshly brewed espresso mingles with whispered laughter, creating a world where every sip feels like a stylish indulgence.
