The Mixologists
Same again?

Assistant Bar Manager, Andrea, and Assistant Head Bartender, Joshua, have shaken and stirred their way around international cocktail-making competitions and some of the world’s most famous hotels, before bringing their incomparable experience and singular talents to The Goring. Your new favourite drink awaits.
Signature Cocktails
Would you like ice with that?
The Goring’s signature cocktails are an homage to people of note. Grandpa Goring liked to order a ‘Garden Negroni’ in the mornings, which updates the timeless classic with Vetiver and Sakura, while a ‘Thank You, Your Majesty’ pays tribute to HRM The King with a dazzling blend of raspberry, yuzu syrup, vodka and champagne. Chin-chin and down the hatch.
It is one of the remaining bastions of old school which is proper throughout. The ambiance, the visitors the service and the wine list are truly outstanding
