Roux will oversee the menu creation in all areas at the hotel, ensuring that the dishes are fresh, in season and sourced from local suppliers. The establishment, scheduled to open in late August, will comprise a restaurant, private dining and bar area. David Pantin, chief executive of Pantin Hotels, commented on the partnership with Roux: "Not only will he be working with us on menu creation, he will also be hosting a series of culinary weekends at the hotel. "In addition, he will oversee training of our senior chefs which includes them spending time with his team at 'Le Gavroche' In Mayfair, as well as being an integral member of the selection team for the Chef and Maitre d' at The Ellington."
