Tom Kerridge to open Fish & Chips restaurant at Harrods Dining Hall
Kerridge's Fish & Chips will offer premium fish and seafood at the Harrods Dining Hall from 11 June.
The 24-seat restaurant (serving 16 during Covid restrictions), set in the Grade II*-listed Dining Hall, will offer a variety of grilled or deep-fried fish and seafood using ethically caught produce from UK suppliers – including grilled Dover sole, native lobster, Orkney king scallops, and a catch of the day.
Kerridge has also partnered with his friend and fellow acclaimed chef Sat Bains to include his Momma Bains' vegan samosa on the Kerridge's Fish & Chips menu, which will sit alongside his gourmet fish and chips, as well as rock oysters, Cornish squid, and Dublin Bay prawns.
Desserts will include flourless chocolate almond cake with salted caramel and vanilla Chantilly, Eton mess, bread and butter pudding, and an elderflower syllabub with summer fruit compote and gingernut biscuits.
"I am proud to bring my take on the best fish and seafood dishes to the most iconic department store in the world," said Kerridge. "I really believe that British talent and produce are at the forefront of great cuisine, and that is reflected in our team and the food we will serve at Kerridge's Fish & Chips. The dishes champion the highest quality ingredients, including incredible lobster, oysters and fish from some of the best suppliers in Britain.
"They are all cooked to perfection and served with sensational sides, such as the triple-cooked chips topped with an option of Matson curry sauce and cheese, plus lobster thermidor, Morecombe Bay shrimps or caviar – what unbeatable combinations!"
Ashley Saxton, head of restaurants for Harrods, added: "Harrods is proud to partner with some of the nation's leading talent to open restaurant concepts that combine culinary excellence with the exceptional service and sense of occasion that dining at Harrods brings. We are absolutely delighted to welcome acclaimed British chef Tom Kerridge to Knightsbridge. We have worked extensively with Tom and his expert team to create an exclusive and enticing menu that celebrates the British produce and suppliers."
Kerridge's Fish & Chips follows the launch of Harrods Social by Jason Atherton and Gordon Ramsay Burger at the famous department store. The Dining Hall itself showcases five other restaurants alongside Kerridge's Fish & Chips, including Caviar House & Prunier, the Grill, the Sushi Bar, Indian Kama by Vineet and Pasta Evangelists.
