Atherton aims to create an informal and affordable dining experience with a contemporary bistro menu paying homage to the best of British cooking.

Headed up by Paul Hood, signature dishes will include ravioli of wild boar bolognaise, peppered hearts and kidney; flamed côte de pork, beetroot, white polenta and spring onion, and CLT – crab, lettuce and tomato vinaigrette.

Headlining on the dessert menu will be London honey sponge with goat’s curd ice cream.

“I want it to be a social restaurant where the surroundings are as vibrant as the food,” said Atherton.

A protégé of Gordon Ramsay, Atherton opened his first London restaurant, Pollen Street Social, in April 2011.

Seven months later it was awarded a Michelin star.
