Our Inspiration
The Pem is a modern British restaurant that brings together tradition, seasonality, and innovation in a refined yet welcoming setting.
Named after suffragette Emily Wilding Davison—fondly known as ‘Pem’—the restaurant pays tribute to strength, character, and bold thinking. Our menus celebrate the best of British produce, with a strong focus on seasonality and sustainability. Dishes are crafted with care, using contemporary techniques to showcase bold, expressive flavours that change with the seasons. A thoughtfully curated wine list complements the food, featuring both celebrated classics and distinctive, lesser-known labels.
Located in the heart of Westminster, The Pem offers a dining experience that is elegant, ever-evolving, and full of personality.
About The Pem
Our menus are rooted in the rich traditions of historic British cuisine, reimagined with inventive techniques and a fresh, contemporary flair.
From intimate lunches and group dinners to private dining and events, The Pem offers a fine dining experience that’s both refined and full of the vibrant energy our guests know and love. Recognised for its culinary excellence, The Pem was proudly featured in the 2025 National Restaurant Awards, named among The SquareMeal Top 100 restaurants, and included in the Michelin Guide.
