The newly launched four-strong selection of Japanese-inspired bento boxes offers a snapshot of the restaurant’s contemporary Asian menus. Summery Duck and Watermelon Salad, Maki Rolls and Black Cod and Yuzu Miso – all favourites from the Great Eastern Dining Room – make an appearance on the bento menu alongside superior Sushi and Sashimi and classic Tempura. Served in traditional five compartment bento boxes, they allow guests to sample the menu’s greatest hits within the space of a lunch hour and at a very affordable price.

Great Eastern Dining Room’s bento boxes are available daily from 12pm to 3pm and from 6pm to 7pm. They are served in both the restaurant and adjacent bar.
