Harden's survey result
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”.

Top Tip – “superb value set lunch”.
Summary
Richard Corrigan’s “understated”, “comfortable” and “well-spaced” Mayfair HQ is a “perfect place for business”, particularly of a slightly traditionalist nature, given its high quality, luxurious British cuisine (available à la carte, or with a tasting option). To the extent that it draws criticism, it’s, perhaps predictably, primarily for being “too expensive for what it is” – take the company’s plastic. Top Tip: “set lunch is exceptional value”.
Summary
“There’s just the right balance of fine dining and a relaxed approach” at Richard Corrigan’s “masculine and clubby”, and business-friendly, Mayfair HQ, “whose honest cooking of first-rate ingredients avoids the over-elaboration that often mars restaurants that are trying to win gongs”. Top Tips – “the Sunday set lunch menu stands out as good value for the posh location” and the “private dining room experience is outstanding, be it at the Chef’s Table or in the Library”.
