The restaurant itself is set within County Hall, built over 100 years ago to house London's government. Gillray's is named after the famed caricaturist of the eighteenth century and celebrates all the best traditions of Englishness from the political history, to the humour and, of course, the traditional cuisine with British beef the enduring star. The bar at Gillray's continues this patriotic theme with ten English ales and an incredible 39 English gins available, as well as tasty bar snacks like pigs in blankets and venison sausage rolls.
