Born from the Hindi word pañch, meaning “five” and pronounced punch, the name carries a dual meaning. In the 17th century, punch became known as the world’s first cocktail; a blend of spirit, sugar, lemon, water, and spiced tea, originating from the Indian subcontinent before being carried to England by the East India Company. True to its namesake, PUNCH, continues that story of two cultures colliding, where heritage meets reinvention. Punch also refers to the five senses invited to take part in the experience. It is a bridge between worlds, crafted with taste, soul and style.

Dishes are drawn from family recipes, reinterpreting the flavours of Indian aunties and British mums. Tradition is the foundation, but imagination is at the forefront. The menu is designed for sharing, echoing the warmth of meals enjoyed at home while channeling London’s esteemed gastronomic culture. The Mumbai Chat-Slaw layers crisp vegetables with tamarind yogurt and boondi for a playful nod to street food. The Madai Crudo is finished with crisp pear-kohlrabi relish, bay leaf powder and herb oil, while the Beef Wellington pairs tenderloin and wild mushroom duxelles with Swiss chard, sunchoke purée, and a Rogan Josh jus. The Butter Chicken Pot Pie reinvents the British staple with tender chicken in rich makhani sauce beneath golden pastry, bridging comfort and exotic flavour

Punch is both deeply personal and profoundly cultural. The food tells a story, rooted in flavours passed down through generations and reimagined with a contemporary vision. Service is refined yet inviting, delivered with a generosity of spirit that makes guests feel instantly at home.
