Breakfast | Aqua Shard

Private dining at breakfast

Our beautiful glass-walled private dining room can seat from 12 up to 22 guests for breakfast over three round tables and overlooks the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, with stunning views of the London skyline.

We have recently introduced new menus at breakfast, starting at £25 per person, making our private dining room the ideal place for larger breakfast gatherings. At breakfast you can also use AV equipment, which isn’t possible at other times, so it’s a perfect spot for a meeting, brainstorm or presentation.

What makes the best breakfast? It’s all in the details…

Breakfast – it’s the most important meal of the day, many people will tell you. To us here at aqua shard, it’s certainly at least as important as any meal, and that’s why we devote the same thought and care to choosing the produce that goes into our breakfast dishes as we do to all our other menus.

London loves our Lobster Benedict!

If there’s one dish that sums up the quietly luxurious experience of breakfast or weekend brunch here at aqua shard, it’s our Lobster Benedict – Colchester Blue lobster cooked slowly in a spiced butter, which is then used to make Hollandaise sauce, to be poured over the lobster and poached free-range Clarence Court eggs atop toasted English muffins.

With our breakfast, mornings just got better!

Many people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, essential for getting the right start before the rigours of the day ahead. Even if we do say so ourselves, we think that our breakfast menu is about as good a start to the day as it’s possible to have.

Why settle for one day when you can have Pancake Week?

Officially there’s only one Pancake Day – or Shrove Tuesday, to give it its proper name – which this year falls on Tuesday 4th March. But we think you’ll like our special pancake dishes so much that we’re making them available not just on Shrove Tuesday, but for the rest of the week as well, until Friday 7th March inclusive.

Wake up to eggs & bacon on Collop Monday!

You’ll probably know that Shrove Tuesday – also known as Pancake Day and Mardi Gras, or ‘Fat Tuesday’ - is a Christian tradition, whereby rich ingredients including milk, eggs and sugar are purposely used up before they are given up for the fast of Lent.

Less well-known-about however is Collop Monday, the day before Shrove Tuesday. This was traditionally the day to use the last of the meat in the house, (a ‘collop’ is a piece or slice of meat) which was usually bacon, served with eggs. The fat used to cook the bacon was then kept and used to cook the pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, ensuring that nothing went to waste.
