What’s on at 116: Summer social calendar

116 Pall Mall building
It’s fair to say we’ve missed having you in our building regularly over the last year. That’s why we’ve been planning plenty of exciting events, deals, openings and menus between now and when restrictions hopefully come to an end in the summer months.

The weather may be very unpredictable at the moment, but you can guarantee our summer social calendar will be sizzling! Take a look at the key dates for our summer calendar below and keep an eye on this page for any updates as we go.


17 May onwards: Reopening the Wine Bar and Café Duke

After making it to another roadmap milestone this week, we're delighted to reopen our Wine Bar and Café Duke for up to tables of six indoors now that government restrictions have been lifted.

  • Café Duke is open at the earlier time of 8am - 12pm for breakfast, including bacon and sausage sandwiches. Our hot drinks menu has been reviewed and will be offered at high street prices

  • The Wine Bar is open 12pm - 8pm where you can enjoy drinks or a delicious lunch from our new lounge menu - including sandwiches, salads, sharing boards and hot dishes. We will look to extend our opening hours later into the evening based on demand over the next few weeks

Ongoing: Summer drinks on the terrace

In line with government guidelines, we opened up our glorious secluded terrace to both members and non-members on the 12 April for outdoor drinking and eating. We’re thrilled to say this has been a success, and it’s been great to welcome you back into 116.

Going forward, we’ll continue to offer summer drinks on the terrace. Here are the key details:
