Opened in 1982 by Simon Parker Bowles, "Green’s of Duke Street St. James’s" has become a culinary institution for its discerning clientele. It is a quintessentially British restaurant specialising in shellfish, fish, game and other British classics.
The formula is simple; top ingredients, unfussy preparation, and careful presentation with warm and efficient service. Amongst many accolades it was voted Tatler Magazine “Best Traditional Restaurant of the Year” 2002.
In response to customer demand, we began a picnic and hamper service in 1998 and has since won top rating from The Times for its quality and originality.
In addition, Green’s Hampers offers a bespoke service to meet your precise personal requirements and budget. Just ask and we will make your order to measure.
The Green's philosophy at events has always been, and will continue to be uncompromising in the quest to come as close as possible to the standards set at the original restaurant. The food almost always comes from the same suppliers as the main restaurant and all dishes are prepared using exactly the same recipes. As the majority of major sporting events are in the summer months cold fish and shellfish are dominant on events menus.
The standard of service at events is just as important as the quality of the food and painstaking care is taken with the recruitment and training of events staff. Similarly, we always feature a selection of the prints and original artwork from the original restaurant. In short we do everything possible to replicate the Green's experience away from St James's.
Green’s Picnics are specifically designed with convenience and practicality in mind. They are presented in compact and stylish cool bags or traditional picnics in wicker baskets - which come with high quality glassware and bone china.
