Pass the security check-in and take the lift to the twenty-fourth floor of the old NatWest building (now Tower 42) if you want to sample Gary Rhodes' Michelin-starred cooking. Once inside, try to get a table by the window, where you can drink in the panoramic views across the capital.
This is the world of partridge sausages with sweet thyme-roast parsnips and Bramley apple sauce, steamed mutton and onion suet pudding, and jam roly-poly with custard and hot jam, but there are plenty of twists and turns along the way: pheasant pâté toasts accompany cep mushroom soup, while warm chocolate pudding is served with iced tangerine parfait.
The menu also has a smattering of European intruders in the shape of gammon and foie gras terrine with peppered pineapple and a warm brioche bun, poached organic salmon with a crab pasta turnover and crab bisque sauce, and warm Kirsch baba with plum ice cream.
