Kerridge’s Bar & Grill: British Elegance at the Corinthia Hotel

‍The Restaurant & Chef‍

Opened in 2018, Kerridge’s Bar & Grill marked Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge’s first London venture. Known for his gastropub finesse and unpretentious excellence, Kerridge brought his love for British classics, slow-roasted meats, elevated pies, and rich gravies, into one of London’s grandest settings: the Corinthia Hotel.

Set inside a building that once housed the Ministry of Defence and now offers five-star luxury, the restaurant reflects old-school British grandeur with leather booths, chandeliers, and art curated by the Royal Drawing School.

Celebrities & Crowd‍

You’ll find the likes of David Beckham, Gordon Ramsay, and media personalities dining here. It’s also a magnet for well-heeled hotel guests, theatregoers from the West End, and political figures due to its proximity to Whitehall and 10 Downing Street.

Nearby Attractions‍

A short walk from Trafalgar Square, St. James’s Park, and the London Eye, this area is rich in history and ideal for a post-lunch or pre-theatre wander. Art lovers can head to the National Gallery, just five minutes away.

Transport & Chauffeuring‍

Parking is minimal in this high-security zone, so London Luxury Chauffeuring is the best way to arrive. Whether you opt for a Rolls-Royce Phantom or a discreet Mercedes S-Class, your chauffeur can drop you at the private entrance and wait until you’re ready to depart.

The interiors are a love letter to London’s Art Deco golden age, with a collection of artworks from Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, and Andy Warhol lining the walls.

The menu reflects the sophistication of its surroundings, think Dover sole, beef Wellington, and seasonal British vegetables, all plated with elegance.

Transport & Chauffeuring‍

With Mayfair being notoriously unfriendly for self-parking, especially on weekends, a professional chauffeur is essential. London Luxury Chauffeuring offers tailored pick-up and drop-off routes through narrow Mayfair lanes, with your vehicle waiting nearby for a swift getaway or scenic drive.

Accessing Tower 42 during rush hour or weekends can be hectic. Let London Luxury Chauffeuring handle the logistics. A uniformed driver can wait curbside while you dine, or return at a set time to take you onward, whether that’s back to your hotel or a late-night jazz club in Soho.
