Mark Sargeant to be new chef director at The Strand
Mark Sargeant has announced he will join The Strand Dining Rooms as chef director this month.
Mark said: “I’ve always been interested in the old school dining scene in London, where food was simple, unfussy and honest, but done with good quality ingredients and personality.
“When Mark (Harris) asked me to work with him on a new Great British menu at The Strand Dining Rooms I gladly accepted the challenge. This place now has all the makings of a true modern British classic”
His new ingredient-led menu will offer a modern take on ‘classic British dishes’. The focus will be on the use of seasonal British produce.
Mark, who spent 13 years working with Gordon Ramsay, including seven years as head chef at Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s, will also create a weekly set lunch and pre/post-theatre menu at the restaurant.
The new menu will offer daily specials, as well as dishes including a 1kg 28-day aged Angus Porterhouse steak, served with beer-battered onions & chips for two to share; poached Loch Duart salmon with green sauce and mimosa garnish; whole roast onion squash, curly kale, poached egg & hollandaise; and lemon cheesecake with Earl Grey prunes.
