New restaurant for Tom Kerridge as he is set to open at the Corinthia hotel

Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge will open his first London based restaurant this year at the Corinthia hotel.

The announcement comes after Tom faced disappointment when his deal with Jumeirah Carlton Tower in Knightsbridge fell through last year.

• How many Michelin-starred restaurants does Tom Kerridge have?
• Why did Tom Kerridge's deal with Jumeirah Carlton Tower in Knightsbridge fall through?

On his latest venture he said: “We are incredibly excited about this opportunity to bring a bit of what we are doing in Marlow to London. Corinthia Hotel London is one of London’s most prestigious hotels, and we are looking forward to doing what we do best – quality British cooking that is modern and exciting.”

He says the London restaurant will take inspiration from all of his other sites including Michelin-starred pub The Coach, The Hand and Flowers and his most recent venture The Butchers Tap.

The restaurant will be situated in what was Massimo on the ground floor of the Corinthia hotel, the restaurant has been operated by the Corinthia since the hotel parted company with Italian chef Massimo Riccioli in 2012.

It's set to open in June after a redesign and Corinthia hotel managing director Thomas Kochs said: “When we met Tom, we knew he was the perfect partner to open a restaurant together. We admire his approach to food, restaurants and his spirit of hospitality. I am confident that together we will create an incredible dining experience.”

The new restaurant, which is yet to be named, will run alongside the Corinthia’s Northall, which also features a seasonal British menu using Tom Kerridge's recipes.
