The Palace Feast: 67 Pall Mall Winter Gala

This December, we’re decamping from St James’s for an evening at Banqueting House on Whitehall. Once the fabled 'party palace' for King James I and VI, Banqueting House sets the stage for a night of dinner, drinks and dancing in the heart of London.

Our Palace Feast will unfold across two spaces. Guests will arrive through Banqueting House’s main entrance before descending to the Undercroft where a Champagne and canapé reception awaits in the very vaults once used as a drinking den for decadent royal parties.

From there, the evening moves upstairs to the Banqueting Hall, an opulent double-height space crowned by a magnificent ceiling which was painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens in 1636 - the only surviving Rubens ceiling painting still in situ. Here, a string quartet will provide the soundtrack to dinner.

In the spirit of a true banquet, Members and their guests will be seated together but at shared banqueting tables, raising glasses and breaking bread alongside fellow Members and guests. The four-course menu and accompanying wines served by our talented sommeliers are now listed below.

As dinner draws to a close, we’ll head back downstairs to the Undercroft, where the evening will continue into the early hours. By then, the room will have shed much of its 17th-century restraint, taking its cue from Studio 54. Expect 1970s-inspired flourishes, a cocktail bar and an unmissable combination of DJ, saxophonist and percussionist.

Following the response to our original Save the Date, Members will be delighted to hear we have extended the evening by one hour. Quite simply, there was no good reason to stop at midnight.
