A spokesman for the group said that the company will now use the restaurant as a space for private dining and events, and is scheduled to open next month. This space will also help accommodate some of the lost private dining opportunities in The Reading Room while The Savoy is closed for an extensive restoration. Chef Bjorn van der Horst is said to be leaving the Gordon Ramsay stable to pursue his own independent project. La Noisette was open for business for less than two years.
