Tom Kerridge earlier today announced a new appointment at Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, his London restaurant sited within the prestigious Corinthia London.
Tom Childs, previously Sous Chef at the restaurant, will take on the new role of Head Chef from today, as Nick Beardshaw leaves to set up his own restaurant. Nick has worked with Tom for 14 years, including as Head Chef at Kerridge’s Bar & Grill since its opening in 2018, having also achieved notable success on Great British Menu.
Tom Childs has worked at Kerridge’s Bar and Grill for five years, following an impressive background including roles at No.6 by Paul Ainsworth, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, and the former Hedone in Chiswick.
Commenting on the news, Tom Kerridge stated: “Nick’s departure has provided the opportunity for Tom Childs to step into the Head Chef role, for which he is more than ready. We have worked on a totally new menu which launches this month. Tom has created a series of exceptional new dishes which both retain the Kerridge’s ‘DNA’ while fully embracing the best of British seasonal ingredients with a nod to classic cookery. I know will be a big hit.”
Additionally, Tom went on to say: “I’m thrilled that Nick Beardshaw is starting his own restaurant. We’ll greatly miss him and his input, and wish him all the best – he will always be part of our team.”
The totally new menu at Kerridge’s Bar & Grill features classics with a Tom Kerridge-style twist, including:
- Pâté en Croüte (with assorted condiments, served from the trolley)
- Quail’s Egg and Mushroom Tart (Hollandaise sauce)
- Dressed Crab with Brown Crab Royale (confit egg yolk, sourdough cracker)
- Lobster Thermidor (fine herbs, sauce americaine)
- Venison Bun (veal sweetbreads, red wine sauce, salsa verde)
- Honey Roasted Suckling Pig Ham (sliced and served from the trolley)
- Gary Rhodes Bread and Butter Pudding (with chocolate ice cream)
- Strawberry Soufflé (lemon thyme custard, vanilla ice cream)
The Bar menu will offer a more informal selection of dishes, including Cornish Haddock and Chips, Beef Burger and Chips, Battered Sausage (with Matson spiced sauce), and Welsh Rarebit on Toast.
