Overview
Steeped in history and bursting with charm, The Guinea is a Mayfair institution known for its exceptional steaks, polished service, and classic British pub character. Located on the discreet, cobbled Bruton Place, this Grade II-listed venue has operated as a licensed pub since the 1600s, with its renowned grill room dating to the 1950s.
At street level, The Guinea offers a traditional pub bar with wooden panelling, vintage signage, brass fittings, and a warm, convivial atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a pint of Young’s cask ale, a G&T, or a glass of red before heading into the adjoining Guinea Grill.
The grill is the star of the show. Known for its dry-aged British beef, steak and kidney pies, and traditional seafood starters like dressed crab and potted shrimps, the menu is a celebration of classic British cuisine. Cuts are butchered in-house and grilled to perfection, with a wine list that spans bold reds and fine vintages worthy of the steaks they accompany.
Despite its Mayfair postcode and premium offering, The Guinea retains a welcoming, unpretentious vibe. It's equally suited to business lunches, special occasions, or a spontaneous steak-and-ale combo.
It’s also won multiple awards, including national accolades for its pies and beef sourcing. For those who appreciate the best of British pub tradition — and some of the finest steaks in London — The Guinea remains unmatched.
