The Long Supper
A seasonal French table moves from velvety leek soup and roast chicken to the calm focus of a classic poker salon. Cream linen, pale oak and amber light set an easy rhythm for shared dining and attentive play.
A table that lingers
Warm cream linen softens the pale oak, while wine-coloured velvet and brushed brass catch the amber light. The mood shifts gently from lively conversation over supper to the quieter attention of cards and chips at the felt table.
The poker salon
A classic, in-person poker table brings cards, standard casino chips and a dealer together beneath shaded light. The atmosphere is quieter than the dining room: focused, sociable and attentive to the rhythm of the table.

The kitchen
Seasonal French cooking
The menu follows the season with fresh herbs and comforting French flavours. Silky leek and potato velouté opens the meal; roast chicken arrives with buttery pommes Anna and glazed winter roots; poached pear brings it to a fragrant close.

Poached pear with crème fraîche

Pear, crème fraîche, hazelnuts.
Made for sharing
Ivory crockery, soft linen and generous plates invite an unhurried meal. Pass the crisp herbs, savour the tender roast chicken and let toasted hazelnuts add their warm crunch to dessert.
From amber light to green felt
Amber pools of light warm the dining room’s cream linen, ivory crockery and pale oak. In the poker salon, green felt and neat card layouts create a calmer focus, with wine-coloured velvet and brushed brass carrying the same welcoming palette through the space.
Understanding casino games
Casino games and the poker table
Casino games cover different formats. In poker, players compare hands and make decisions through rounds of betting; in roulette, the result follows the ball and wheel. Blackjack compares a hand with the dealer’s hand.
Gambling, chance and decisions
Gambling means staking something of value on an uncertain outcome. Gambling games combine rules, chance and, in some formats such as poker, player decisions. Knowing the rules helps you follow a table, but it cannot guarantee a result.
What real money means
Real money play involves monetary stakes and the possibility of losing the amount wagered. The value assigned to casino chips and any table limits depend on the rules of the particular game.
Does GAMSTOP self-exclusion cover physical casinos in Great Britain?
Self-exclusion through GAMSTOP ONLINE does not, by itself, prohibit gambling in land-based casinos in Great Britain: GAMSTOP ONLINE applies to online gambling operators. In discussions of physical casinos, the phrase non gamstop refers to this distinction between online and land-based self-exclusion; it does not mean that a venue has no self-exclusion arrangements. Land-based casino self-exclusion is separate, through SENSE and operators’ own arrangements. Any active land-based self-exclusion applying to you remains in force and must be respected.
