A truly distinctive cocktail bar in London, The Secret Garden elegantly combines The Ritz’s considered luxury design philosophy and boundary-pushing gastronomic sensibilities.

The Secret Garden offers the world-famous service and culinary mastery of The Ritz London in softened, sunlit splendour. From small plates to sandwiches and salads, seafood and meat dishes, the menu is contemporary yet refined. Highlight dishes include the Dorset Crab Brioche Roll, the Harissa Charred Poussin with Pumpkin Seed and Smoked Almond, or the Red Mullet with Ratatouille and Bouillabaisse, whilst desserts range from The Ritz Vanilla Trifle to a Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream Mille Feuille or a Caramelised Banana and Chocolate Flan.
The Secret Garden Design & Heritage
The garden has been designed as an ethereal tapestry of grasses and perennials, from irises and hellebores, to hydrangeas, crab-apple trees, and white wisteria. Designed around the natural architecture and movement of sunlight across the garden, Marcus Barnett Studios planted an array of sumptuous greenery with pastel, cream, and vibrant florals that will shift in colour and texture throughout the season.
A water feature stands as the centrepiece, adding a gentle trickling acoustic to the stylish seating sheltered by vast parasols and canopies. Bespoke soft cashmere throws by Johnston’s of Elgin will invite twilight conversations and warmth on late summer nights.
Entertainment
A programme of live entertainment will further enhance the atmosphere of the garden on Thursday and Friday evenings, throughout the day on Saturdays, and during Sunday lunch.
The Secret Garden Experience
A visit to The Secret Garden Bar is more than simply enjoying a quick drink; it’s an invitation to a glamorous garden venue where time slows, and spirits lift. The atmosphere inspires a sense of joy and lightness, encouraging guests to unwind over Champagne, food, and conversation.
As the day transitions into evening and the space is bathed in warm, golden light, the garden comes alive with live music sessions to mark the transition between day and night.
Open from Monday 1st June and daily throughout the summer months (weather permitting).
