Lancers is a family restaurant with a heritage. The logo depicts Abdhul Samad Choudhury riding his horse backwards into battle with ladles hanging from his belt. Samad is a great grandparent of the current owners who made his name as a cook in the Bengali Lancers regiment. He was a renowned pacifist who preferred food to fighting. This I can relate to.

The family have been cooking in Stockbridge since 1985 but the restaurant has had a recent facelift from the family's millenials. Large street front windows now welcome you and Lancer's revival brings added buzz to Hamilton Place.

The interior and tableware has a regal blue and gold palette, with very subtle ornate touches courtesy of lamps, glassware and a discreet, classy back bar.
