Many congratualtions to André Garrett who has spent 5 years delivering memories to treasure at his eponymous restaurant at Cliveden House hotel, Taplow, Berkshire. As a regular visitor to the restaurant and general Cliveden lover, he will be sadly missed. Those naughty people at Michelin somehow overlooked a significant period where everything had come together from the kichen and one of the strongest star standard restaurants in the country was delivering without that recognition. So all the very best to André on his new adventure! Having visited the Corinthia for the Gold Service Scholarship final judging process 2018 (as a participant consuming food and drink and asking the occasional question rather than doing any judging) I can honestly say that the Corinthia will prove a wondeful venue for André and no doubt one in which he will continue to flourish. See you there my friend. Take care, all the best!! And Thank You!!! Simon C

Corinthia Hotel London’s restaurant and bar outlets have seen an exciting new direction most recently with the opening of Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, the relaunch of its cocktail bar, Bassoon, in partnership with Sager + Wilde, and the hotel’s afternoon tea in the Crystal Moon Lounge has enjoyed a complete makeover to celebrate the ceremony of a traditional English tea service.
Under the helm and expert guidance of André Garrett, The Northall restaurant will take a new culinary direction with a menu offering incorporating a broad fish and seafood selection influenced by the Mediterranean. Further details of the restaurant and its new menu will be released in the New Year.
André Garrett adds: “Corinthia Hotel London celebrates exceptional food and drink, which is why I relished the opportunity to join this dynamic team. I am excited to return to London and to be working alongside Thomas on this new culinary direction.”
