The Ned brunch: the Sunday Feast, Kaia on Saturdays, what each costs and how to book

Ned’s Feast is the big one. Every Sunday it takes over Millie’s Lounge and the booths of the Nickel Bar, in the banking hall; the page’s word is «limitless», and guests call it a buffet. The sample menu starts cold, with rock oysters, crevettes, smoked and poached salmon, half lobsters, a charcuterie board and 7 salads, then moves to the hot food: roast beef, roast pork and roast chicken with Yorkshire puddings, duck fat roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets and a lobster mac and cheese. The sweet end is as long: 12 cakes and slices by a count of the sample menu read on 11 October 2026, from a Battenberg to a cornflake caramel brownie, bread and butter pudding with custard, and a cheese table of Stilton, Keens Cheddar, goats’ cheese and Baron Bigod.

Cecconi’s Feast runs the same Sunday at the same 2 prices, in Cecconi’s and Malibu Kitchen, and stops earlier, at 4pm. Its menu keeps the oysters, lobsters and roasts and adds Italian dishes: 3 pizzas, 5 pastas from cacio e pepe to rigatoni bolognese, porchetta beside the roast beef, and tiramisù della nonna and cannoli among the desserts. A vegan roast is listed. At £120 this one includes a glass of prosecco, which Ned’s Feast does not mention.

Saturday belongs to Kaia, the Asian-Pacific counter with an open kitchen. Its brunch comes to the table. Everyone shares unlimited starters, among them edamame, chicken gyoza, pork bao, tempura and rolls, plus sashimi of tuna, salmon and sea bass and 2 kinds of nigiri, counted at one piece of each per person. Everyone then picks a main, from prawn fried rice to a chicken karaage waffle with yuzu maple, and a dessert platter arrives for the table. That is £55. The £70 premium brunch opens the dishes the menu highlights, and the copy read does not show which those are; black cod with tarragon miso, lamb cutlets and wagyu fried rice are on the same list of mains. Kaia also prints a vegetarian brunch menu.

The plainest option is a card headed Brunch on Millie’s Lounge’s Saturday menu, ordered dish by dish: pancakes with berries and whipped cream or bacon and maple syrup at £17, smoked haddock kedgeree with a poached egg at £17, eggs Benedict at £19, a Full English at £22. Millie’s opens at 7am on Saturdays, and Malibu Kitchen, which serves açai bowls and an avocado Florentine with matcha hollandaise, at 9am.

Guests split on the Feast. One in July 2026 listed oysters, lobster, prawns, mussels, the roast and the desserts, drank the free-flowing Champagne and «rolled out after just over two hours». A February 2026 visitor called the building stunning, the service impeccable and the shellfish and desserts superb, and still gave 2 stars because the roast was poor for the price. A May 2026 reviewer, who mentions a live band, judged the quality «ok» and the price a little high, paid, they wrote, for the experience, the memories and the service. In January 2026 a guest whose table was booked from 2.30pm for 2 hours had the bill brought, unasked, at 4.15pm.

2 practical notes come from guests as well. A couple celebrating a golden wedding in February 2026 advise taking the Underground to Bank and leaving by exit 9, which comes out, they say, 50 feet from the front door. And a guest who had reserved rooms for a Sunday in December wrote in October 2025 that they were told in June that Feast tables for that date would open on 12 September, and later that none were left.

The Feast is a buffet. For a Sunday roast ordered from a menu, The Grill at The Dorchester serves Sunday lunch from 12pm to 3pm and prints a Sunday roast menu. None of the 3 pages below describes a buffet: they are other hotel tables for a weekend lunch.

At The Emory, abc kitchens serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 12.30pm to 4pm. Saison, the French brasserie in the former library of the Old War Office at Raffles London, opens for all-day dining at 12.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and charges £50 a person for a cancellation inside 24 hours.
