“an iconic element of the Royal British image and experience.” Horse Nation
Why we love it
Buckingham Palace’s Royal Mews is certainly the worlds finest working stable. Whilst the Rolls Royces, and fairy-tale coaches try to steal the show, "the true crown jewel is the horses." After exploring the home of Britains most revered hooved royals, enjoy an equally regal dining experience at the Michelin Starred, Quilon Restaurant.
What's Included?
- Enjoy a one-hour multimedia tour at The Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace
- Visit one of the greatest stables in the world, home to Her Majesty’s beloved royal horses and golden carriages
- Savour a five-course tasting menu at Michelin Starred, Quilon followed by tea and coffee
- Truly guests will also receive additional course each
Description
Situated next to Buckingham Palace, the Royal Mews has history dating back to the late 14th century. Steep deep in monarchy traditions, it is responsible for all road travel undertaken by the Royal Family, from royal weddings to coronations. Today the mews holds a combination of century-old carriages, specially-bred horses and more recently an array of luxe Rolls Royces.
During your hour-long tour, expect to be dazzled by 200-year-old fairy-tale coaches that have defined history. Marvel at the Gold State Coach, which has been used to transport the monarch for every coronation since 1821 to Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee State Coach and beyond.
The true highlight is a visit to the working stables; home to the Queen's beloved Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bay. Learn why these particular breeds have been chosen for royal duty and take a sneak peak into the royal riding school, where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s children learnt to ride.
After working up an appetite exploring the royal stables, venture to Quilon for a sumptuous five course tasting menu. Chef Sriram has meticulously designed his menus to showcase the traditional flavours and ingredients of south west coastal India, while including the progressive elements of modern cooking. The success of Sriram’s dishes won Quilon a Michelin star in 2008, which the restaurant has maintained ever since.
