Menus at this venue provide the same creativity and innovation as its Westminster counterpart. Designed by executive chef Vivek Singh, they comprise high quality seasonal ingredients and provenance. Appetisers include tasty south east Asian dishes such as kettyle beef salad with chilli and crisp basmati, lentil and curry leaf crusted hake with yogurt rice, and seared scallops with kadhai mushroom.
