House of Roxy – a new cocktail bar and restaurant is a welcome addition to South West London’s going out scene.
Situated near both mainline and underground stations in the centre of Putney on the Upper Richmond Road, House Of Roxy has a light and airy restaurant upstairs and a vibrant cocktail lounge in the basement. On the site of Destino, a Spanish eatery that had long been a favourite with locals, new owner Andrew Taylor has hired Destino’s enigmatic owner as House Of Roxy’s Head Chef, drawing from his 25 years of experience running some of SW London’s best restaurants. Keeping to its Spanish roots, the restaurant will feature a fresh hot and cold tapas menu and the a la carte menu takes its inspiration from Mediterranean food, but combines it with modern British ingredients.
The Lunch Two Course Set Menu is £10.95.
Dishes from the evening menu include:
* Starter: Smoked duck salad with pink grapefruit segments, and an orange and grain mustard vinaigrette (£6.00)
* Mains: Fillet of sea bass with thyme and lemongrass sauce ( £16.95)
* Chargrilled 28 day hung Rib-eye Steak, slow roast plum tomatoes, water cress, triple cooked duck fat chips served with a red wine jus. (£19.95)
House of Roxy’s downstairs bar has a definite ‘speakeasy’ feel. Exposed brick and slate grey walls are complemented by chunky solid oak tables and subtle up-lighting.
Who is Roxy?
Head Bartender Edin Hrnjic has designed a cocktail menu that focuses on exciting signature concoctions, whilst not forgetting the classics.

Throughout the week, House Of Roxy is the ideal place to relax post work over a drink, or enjoy one of the bar’s regular tasting events and mixology evenings. Come the weekend, House of Roxy welcomes DJs, performers and live music, alongside a cool and stylish crowd, creating a destination venue in the middle of Putney.
