🥃 200 years of Café Royal

This year, we’re celebrating two centuries of Café Royal with something truly special.

To mark the milestone, we’ve created a limited-edition Café Royal whisky glass, available to purchase exclusively from the bar.

Even better, 100% of the proceeds from every glass sold will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support 💚

A little piece of Café Royal history, with a big purpose.

Available from the bar while stocks last.
