Food Files: Sunday Brunch Roka Mayfair
We spent Sunday brunch under a beautiful canopy of delicate pink blossoms! There was free-flowing cocktails and wine pouring.
Both menus start with a generous selection of ROKA favourites, brought to the table; larger dishes to order include the much-loved cedar roast baby chicken with chilli and lemon or the sea bream fillet, ryotei miso and red onions.
The accompanying cocktails include a Japanese-style Bloody Mary and the legendary Shochu on the beach.

Whilst this place is very instagramable me and my friend were shocked that after pre paying for the brunch city tax was added onto the final bill which was a hefty £21.60. We definitely were not prepared for this. So if you do decide to book this brunch be aware.
Apart from that hefty city tax! Its well worth a visit.
