Harden's says

In the space vacated by D&D London at The Royal Exchange comes a food hall - complete with gift and hamper selection – from HM’s grocer Fortnum & Mason. There is a dining and bar area in the courtyard (formerly D&D’s Grand Cafe).

Fortnum’s hold the catering and bar concession for the spectacular City courtyard of the Royal Exchange, where they provide luxury all-day snacking, sipping and dining (start the day with “the best-ever porridge with whisky and cream!”). It must be the just about the only restaurant in London to provide ‘personal shopping advice’ to diners, guiding them round the glossy shops that have replaced traders in the surrounding exchange.

“Making the best of an amazing space at the Royal Exchange” – Fortnum’s have taken over the operation formerly run by D&D London with this luxurious pitstop in the Exchange’s magnificent courtyard: not a great place to save money, but “perfect for small plates, plus a glass or two of champers”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
