This channel is like a palette cleansing sorbet, a bastion of old world hospitality and what it means to be an old world gentleman. In the modern world of 140 character thoughts projected at light speed Kirby invites you sit down, relax, have a good cigar, a good single malt, have a good conversation with friends and look impeccable while doing it.

When it comes to covering Savile Row and London Heritage, Kirby Allison is in a class of his own.

I've eaten at Rules several times and my overwhelming sense of it is that although it's a grand place, it's also very warm and welcoming. I don't think anyone ever feels out of place there.

Rules is a special place in a city full of fine restaurants. I always make a point of being in London during grouse season so that I can enjoy it at Rules. It’s not only the delicious food—people who dine at Rules aren’t loud, they are generally well dressed and behave as if they acknowledge that it is a special place, reminiscent of the way life used to be in a simpler but more elegant time.

You immediately feel like getting on the next plane and eating out at The Rules. Thank you Kirby for the great insights.

My favourite restaurant - the food, atmosphere, staff, bar, other guests - amazing. If you are ever in London this is an absolute must.

Rules is my favourite restaurant ever - and I live in Paris! My heart lifts every time I walk through the door, my stomach sags every time I walk out 😅. A wonderful place, lang may its lum reek (wee tribute to Ricky).

@myhappynest6125 4 years ago

Kirby I love Rules during the Christmas season. In fact my husband and I try travel to London during the first two weeks in December. It’s just magical. I love your channel and I just followed you on Instagram 😊

Nice Scottish accent there. Guaranteed warm welcome.

@lisabudd5979 3 years ago

The heritage and traditions they value i love .
To stay private it fantastic.
🇦🇺 i can always dream .☺💖

What an absolute enchanting place, this is definitely on my list in 2022. Well done Kirby yet again you have showcased a fantastic piece of not only History but the legacy of this establishment.
P. S. I wonder if Ricky is a distant relative of mine.

One year after a days walked shooting over spaniels my share of the bag was a pigeon,a rabbit and badly shot pheasant which had been taken far too close.I portioned the first two and took the breast off the pheasant,marinaded all the meat overnight in a bottle of Chilean red and casseroled it serving it with baked potatoes and fresh broad beans.40 years later I still remember that meal.

I was a chef for 42 years retired left the trade 5 years ago and I’ve roasted more grouse than I can remember,it’s the best of the game birds without a doubt and I even got to like Bread Sauce!!!

I ate at Rules today. Fabulous food and setting.

@Philo68 4 years ago

A positively delicious presentation Kirby. Thanks.
The last time I visited Rules with a pal we had no reservation and it would’ve been an hour wait for a table.
No problem at all - Ricky took care of us.
We enjoyed a couple of Old Fashioned cocktails upstairs and decided to dine there ‘next time’.
The value for money in Rules is simply amazing. The only place who can perform English cuisine anywhere close is (perhaps) Marks Club.
The red legged Partridge in Marks Club is to be saluted!
Rules may be just behind Budd Shirtmakers as my favourite place in London!

That is such a beautiful dining room. It took my breath away.

@philbradt6111 4 years ago

Very elegant restaurant, I wish I could be there. Thank you for your video!

@caseyjonesbklyn5796 4 years ago

Decor of this place is amazing. Attention to detail that many places don’t put effort into into today’s fast food society.

@kristy77a 4 years ago

Very pleasant video, thanks. I understand this channel is about style and tradition, not cuisine but I do wish we could have SEEN some the food being discussed. The martini mixing at the end was a delight.
