To toast the arrival of summer, The Arch London has devised a summer menu boasting seasonal ingredients, mouth-watering meat cuts and an expansive list of wines by the glass.
Head Chef Gary Durrant has developed a series of dishes to tantalise taste buds this summer, including Chilled cucumber and avocado soup with brown shrimp; Chicken, pistachio, apricot, baby gem and avocado salad; Tomato risotto, basil oil and parmesan crisp; and Steamed lemon sole fillets, samphire, brown shrimp butter. For the sweet toothed, options include Lemon posset with a sesame and poppy seed biscuit; Vanilla and passion fruit cheesecake; and Chocolate fondant, salted caramel ice cream and peanut brittle.
The crowning glory of Hunter 486 is the use of the stone oven. As it operates at a very high heat, meat and fish are produced with astonishingly succulent results. New stone oven dishes include Fillet of cod, braised peas, spring onions, air dried and mint; and Black leg chicken, peas, girolles, smoked bacon and thyme. Every Sunday Hunter 486 serves a Sunday Roast cooked in the stone oven from Noon until.
23 Wines and Champagnes Now Available by the Glass
After recently investing in the Coravin Model Two Elite, Hunter 486 has now launched 23 wines and Champagnes to enjoy by the glass. The wine menu features red, white and rose varieties.
The celebrated Coravin model offers wine enthusiasts the rare opportunity to sample glasses without committing to the whole bottle. The process sees a thin, hollow needle pass through the cork to access the wine. The bottle is then pressurized with argon, pushing the wine through the needle so that it flows into the glass without letting any oxygen into the bottle. Once the needle is removed, the cork naturally reseals itself, and the remaining wine continues to evolve naturally.
Named after the 1950s dialling code for Marylebone, Hunter 486 has been designed with an air of nostalgic London glamour fused with contemporary touches. The restaurant features gleaming leather booths, blown glass chandeliers and statement artwork, plus an adjoining chic Salon de Champagne bar. The kitchen is delightfully open plan and airy, allowing guests to watch the skilled chefs at work amongst the gleaming selection of copper pots and pans suspended from the ceiling. Light streams through the large windows, treating guests to a charming view of the neighbourhood mews, and come the evening, the softly lit restaurant is an intimate and romantic setting for dinner and drinks.
