American Meets English
The menu is overseen by our Executive Chef, Christopher Hannon and it focuses on a mixture of classic American and British dishes, many reminiscent of Cliveden’s diverse owners and residents. The name 'The Astor Grill' recalls the Astor family, who owned the house from the early 1900s. William Waldorf Astor, America’s richest citizen, then gave the house to his son and daughter-in-law, Nancy Astor, in 1906 and Cliveden became a vibrant social hub for guests as diverse as Charlie Chaplin, George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill.
