Harden's survey result
Summary
Richard Corrigan’s Mayfair HQ, just off Park Lane, aims to ‘champion all game that is coastal and wild, furred and feathered’ and the result is a selection of fairly traditional British dishes, infused “with the occasional Irish flavour” (“top-quality venison” and “perfectly cooked fish” inspired particular mention this year). In style, it’s quite a “formal” space, although “service is efficient and not too stuffy for the type of establishment” (and “if the great man himself makes an appearance, prepare to be entertained!”). One much-repeated complaint this year, though: it’s becoming “heart-stoppingly expensive”.
Summary
“Excellent cooking with top-quality ingredients” inspires numerous fans of Irish celeb chef Richard Corrigan’s Mayfair HQ, just off Park Lane, whose guiding principle is that of a modernised hunting lodge, focused on “traditional” British and Irish cuisine, including beef from the carving trolley. Naturally it doesn’t come cheap, but the experience was consistently highly rated this year.
Summary
“Classic and club-like (without being oppressive)” – Richard Corrigan’s spacious Mayfair HQ, just off Park Lane, offers a traditionally luxurious experience, focused on “unfussy”, top-quality British cuisine (from head chef, Aidan McGee). Its ratings looked less secure this year, though, with mounting concerns about its vertiginous pricing – to fans “even if it’s expensive, the quality is there”, but to foes it now seems “extremely overpriced” to an extent some feel is “ludicrous”. Top Tip – “superb value set lunch”.
