The Astor Grill, a relaxed and convivial new restaurant, will open at Cliveden House, near Taplow, Berkshire, in mid-April 2016. Located in the Duke of Westminster's former stables, adjacent to the main House, the space will accommodate 38 with additional seasonal terrace seating for up to 40.
The modern all-day menu will be overseen by Executive Chef André Garrett, and will focus on a mix of classic American and British dishes, many reminiscent of Cliveden's diverse owners and residents. The name – The Astor Grill – recalls the Astor family, who owned the house from the early 1900s. William Waldorf Astor, America's richest citizen, then gave the house to his son and daughter-law, Nancy Astor, in 1906, and Cliveden then became a vibrant social hub for guests as diverse as Charlie Chaplin, George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill.
