Renowned Chef Adam Handling has revealed his plans for dining, drinking and indulging at Belmond Cadogan Hotel, Belmond’s first London property opening December 2018.
Menu planning for the restaurant, tea room, bar, room service and banqueting, all of which will reflect Adam’s eye for drama and detail, is now fully under way. From breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, to bar snacks, Adam will be focusing on a sustainable approach to ‘Best of British’, taking inspiration from the building’s illustrious cultural history, in tandem with his existing emphasis on Modern British dining and sustainable, zero-waste ethos.
‘It’s a very luxurious and intimate hotel that offers a unique British experience. I know whether guests are coming to stay or dine, they want to embrace the hotel’s history and that ties in perfectly with my cooking. I want to draw on the heritage of the building and reinterpret it in my own way,’ says Adam Handling.
Belmond Cadogan Hotel is rich in history and heritage, connected to artists, writers and royalty. Once home to Lillie Langtry where she courted the future King of England, Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, the hotel was also known as Oscar Wilde’s London pied-a-terre.
“There truly will be something for everyone, but fundamentally what we will be offering is the kind of food and drink that I and the team love to create, and eat – we will be serving what we believe in,” says Handling.
