Top chef Tom Aikens extends his portfolio of restaurants

Top chef Tom Aikens is set to build on the success of his recent ventures Tom's Terrace and Tom's Deli with his latest establishment “Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House”, which will open at the end of this month.

Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House will mirror the concept of Tom's Kitchen Chelsea. The menu will offer fresh British produce including Daylesford 7 hour confit lamb with balsamic onions and mash, grilled marinated cobb chicken, sea bass meunière with black olives and tomatoes, and the truffle chips with parmesan. Desserts include the chocolate hot pot with pistachio ice-cream and baked alaska.

The restaurant will also serve breakfast. Full English will include American style crisp vanilla Belgian waffles with caramelized apples, cinnamon cream and maple syrup savoured with either a bucks fizz or a Bloody Mary.

A Tom's Kitchen tasting board will also be up for grabs, including coronation crab salad, mini burgers and tartine of red onion and aubergine compote, and grilled paillard of chicken salad.

Aikens said: "Extending the Tom's Kitchen portfolio is a keen ambition for me and with such positive feedback from existing customers at Tom's Kitchen Chelsea and Tom's Terrace, launching Tom's Kitchen at Somerset House is the natural next step.
 
"Somerset House is a fantastic venue and I am looking forward to continuing to serve guests over the Summer and beyond with first-class dishes made with the finest ingredients."
