A business lunch set menu is a fixed price and a fixed window in the middle of the working day: two or three courses paced to have the table back at its desk inside the hour, from kitchens that sit where the offices are. All Set lists 66 of them across the City, Mayfair, Soho, Fitzrovia, Marylebone, Covent Garden, King's Cross, Paddington and Canary Wharf.
They run from £14.95 for two courses to 7 Michelin-listed dining rooms, and 47 of them come in under £30. Every one is served on weekdays, most from noon until 2.30pm or 3pm, and every price, day and serving window on this page is taken from the restaurant's own published menu. Each card books direct.

What is a business lunch set menu?
A business lunch set menu is a fixed-price menu of two or three courses served on weekdays in a defined lunchtime window, usually noon to 2.30pm, at a restaurant close to the offices. Some restaurants name it on the menu, as a Power Lunch, a Business Lunch or an Express Lunch; others simply run their weekday set lunch in the City or the West End. Both kinds are on this page.
How long does a business lunch take in London?
Most business lunch set menus are built around an hour: two courses arrive in turn without a wait between them, and a third adds fifteen minutes or so. Restaurants that state a one-hour service say so on their menu, and the serving window on each card shows the latest time to sit down.
Which areas of London have the most business lunch set menus?
Mayfair, Soho, the City of London and Fitzrovia carry the most weekday set lunches on All Set, followed by Covent Garden, Marylebone, Shoreditch, King's Cross and Paddington. Every one of the 66 menus on this page is served on weekdays and books direct with the restaurant.
