Business Lunch Mayfair

The business lunch at Bocconcino Mayfair is a two or three-course set menu, served weekdays at 19 Berkeley Street. The menu is built for the working lunch: dishes that arrive promptly, portions sized for an afternoon back at a desk, and a wine list that supports anything from a glass with a starter through to a bottle if the meeting calls for it. The menu changes seasonally and reflects the regional Italian à la carte that Bocconcino runs the rest of the week.

Among the lunch spots in Mayfair, Bocconcino occupies a particular position. The restaurant is closer to a proper sit-down dining room than to the higher-end sandwich shops or counter-style lunch venues, but the set menu is priced and paced for the lunchtime market. Most regulars are people from the surrounding offices on Berkeley Street, Bond Street, and the wider W1J area, who use the restaurant for client meetings and team lunches as a routine part of the working week.

What’s on the Set Lunch Menu

The set lunch is built from the regional Italian menu and designed to accommodate all requirements and preferences, with vegetarian, fish and meat options across the courses. Starters typically include an antipasti option and a soup or salad. Mains run a meat option, a fish option, and a vegetarian or vegan main, with an additional choice of Roman-style pizza or a larger pasta. Desserts are drawn from the Italian dessert tradition, with tiramisu among the standard options.

The menu rotates seasonally. In winter, more substantial pasta and braised meat dishes appear on the lunch menu. In summer, the menu leans toward lighter seafood, salads and chilled antipasti. The set menu sits alongside the standard à la carte at lunch, so guests who want to order off-menu have the option, but the set menu is the more straightforward choice for a working lunch where speed matters.

Mayfair Lunch Deals and Pricing

The set lunch is priced at a fixed rate for two courses or three courses. Current pricing is shown on the booking page and on the menu at the door. The pricing is set at the everyday end of the Mayfair lunch market: more expensive than a sandwich, less expensive than a tasting menu, and pitched at the working lunch crowd rather than the hotel restaurant trade. There is no minimum spend at the table outside private dining bookings, and house wines by the glass and Coravin selections are available at standard restaurant prices.

Working Lunch and Business Meeting Setup

For client lunches and team meetings, the ground floor of the Mayfair restaurant is the right space to book. The seating gives the table the privacy a meeting usually wants without making the lunch feel like a private dining event. The kitchen runs to time, so guests on a tight schedule can be in and out within an hour for two courses, or ninety minutes to two hours for three courses with wine.

For more sensitive meetings or larger groups (six or more), the lower ground floor private dining rooms can be booked at lunchtime as well as in the evening. The rooms have audio-visual setups, dedicated service teams and the option of a tailored menu in advance. Lead time for private dining at lunch is typically a week, with some flexibility at off-peak periods. The events team handles the booking, the menu and the drinks package as a single coordinated arrangement.

Italian Wines for a Mayfair Business Lunch

The wine list at Bocconcino Mayfair runs to over 300 bottles, with the spine built around Italian appellations: Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Amarone, Super Tuscan. For the business lunch crowd, the more useful section is the by-the-glass and Coravin selection, which covers a working range of Italian and French wines at lunchtime prices. The sommelier team is on the floor through the lunch service for guests who want a recommendation, and lighter reds and whites from northern Italy work particularly well alongside the set lunch menu.

Booking Lunch at Bocconcino Mayfair

Lunch service runs Monday to Friday from midday into the early afternoon. The kitchen does not close between lunch and dinner, so later lunch bookings are accommodated alongside the standard slots. Bookings can be made online or through the restaurant. For private dining and group bookings, contact the events team. Mayfair Saturday and Sunday lunch services are separate (the Saturday Brunch Esclusivo and the Sunday Il Grande) and run on different menus.
