For near on two centuries, we have looked to the stars to navigate sundown seas. Come dark, they shepherded our vessels through inky waters, lighting the way for a million voyages. It’s the allure and splendour of these celestial orbs that influence the Chart Room this evening. Just like the night sky, the drinks and entertainment you will find emit their own distinctive quality for you to enjoy as we make our way ever-forward across the starlit seas. Please note that all bar purchases are subject to a 15% service charge. All spirits are available in a choice of 1oz (29.6ml) or 2oz (59.1ml) measures. Some of our products may contain allergens.

So it is with the world. It will only ever lead you back to yourself. Jeanette Winterson COCKTAILS COCKTAILS In celebration of the stars that light our ships through the night, discover a unique selection of twenty celestial cocktails, drawing inspiration from both navigational luminosities and the famous signs of the zodiac.
