After temporarily closing in early 2014 to undergo an extensive redesign, Marcus Wareing's flagship restaurant reopened in March of the same year bearing a new name – ‘Marcus’ – and looking better than ever.
The interior, designed by Robert Angell Design Studios, is an attractive combination of Chesterfield sofas, contemporary art and shimmering surfaces, adding up to a dining room which feels worthy of the chef's supreme cuisine without feeling stuffy and uptight.
There are plenty of dining options available, showcasing Marcus' famous cuisine. Punters are also free to specify the seating they would prefer – a sweet touch which underlines the efficacy of the service in general.
The dishes stay loyal to the chef’s gastronomic principles: contemporary, theatrical and undeniably British. It's clear that the very best produce is at the heart and soul of the menu, with ingredients such as Cumbrian rose veal, Rhug Estate pork and Gigha halibut just some of the fantastic things on offer.
To experience the full repertoire of Marcus's dishes, dining options include à la carte, lunch and seasonal tasting menus, a spectacular Chef’s Table for up to ten guests and The Salon, a private dining room available for groups of up to sixteen.
