The Peers’ Dining Room at the House of Lords is opening to the public for the first time next week - as managers attempt to raise cash following £880,000 losses.
Foodies will have the chance to dine like a lord with a three course lunch and coffee costing £35 per head.
The dress code is smart/casual and "typical dishes" include slow-cooked ox cheek, corn-fed chicken breast and baked salmon, according to the parliament.uk website.
A statement says: “Guests can enjoy the exclusive opportunity to experience the magnificent setting of the historic Palace of Westminster in the run-up to the general election.”
Bookings are available while parliamentary business is on hold from next Tuesday, April 14, until the day after the general election, Friday May 8.
The scheme will help raise cash for the grand dining room's upkeep, not long after accounts revealed it required £886,996 of public subsidy in 2013-2014.
A Lords spokesperson told BuzzFeed: “The hope is it will generate revenue. It’s a trial run for the next four weeks.
“There’s a recognition from the professional committee which had put forward this proposal that we’ve got these facilities not being used by members, so we’ll try and see if we can bring in some revenue by giving the public access.
“If we raise the revenue, that will keep the subsidy down.”
It comes after the Members’ Dining Room at the House of Commons opened to the public on Tuesday last week.
Only six openings were planned for the Commons venue, with four of them in the coming weeks.
