"My son and I had been to the National History Museum and then a long walk through Hyde Park. We were hot and tired and just looking for a pub for a quick long drink. We saw the Portman, commented on how attractive it was and went inside. The interior was a cool, calm haven we didn't plan it but we each ordered a cocktail (beautifully made) and then seeing the menu decided to take lunch there. I had the Lincolnshire Poacher tart with Fennel salad which was delicious, my son had the beef and roquefort sandwich it was very good indeed. The barman was friendly and attentive making us very comfortable genuinely interested in our experience. When I return to London I will be eating at the Portman again."
