Harden's says

Opening mid-2025 in this grand hotel off Trafalgar Square, a flagship restaurant from the top-class Italian chef, most recently of Sartoria and Fiume. He's taking over what was the Northall, with Tom Kerridge's Grill just along the corridor.

Summary

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

The arrival of top-class Italian chef, Francesco Mazzei (most recently of Sartoria and Fiume) was trailed at this luxurious five-star near Trafalgar Square in September 2024, but its ultimate launch seems set now for autumn 2025 or early 2026. He’s taking over the Northall (to be RIP) that was formerly managed by André Garrett. The Northall’s interior is a fine space, but it’s always played second-fiddle to Tom Kerridge’s Grill just along the corridor, something the new launch is doubtless designed to change.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
