Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s [CLOSED]

by Jeanne Horak on November 28, 2004 6 Comments in London restaurants

As I have mentioned before, at the beginning of last month my friend Greg from Australia stayed with us for a week. As he is as chronic a foodie as I am, much of the week was spent talking about, cooking, eating and photographing food – what bliss!! Before he had even boarded his Qantas flight over here, we had already decided on certain dishes that would cook, certain foodie places we had to go and where we would go for a splash-out meal. Since Greg is travelling on Aussie Dollars, which do not translate into very many £££s, I weighed our options up very carefully as to where the splash meal should be. If you have money to burn there are, of course, any number of restaurants in London who would be more than happy to help you in this regard… But finding a gourmet bargain is another story. I was keen to take Greg somewhere with a “name” in the restaurant world, as well as somewhere with reliably fab food – and preferably somewhere that I had been and could recommend personally. After much debate I settled on a lunch at Gordon Ramsay at Claridges – both because I thought it was fabulous value for money (I have been there before and was hugely impressed with the calibre of the food) and because it was close enough to my office to make lunch possible without having to take an afternoon off. I did, however, warn my colleagues when I left at 12 not to expect me back in a huge hurry… 😉

At 12:30 sharp I met Greg in the foyer of the Claridges Hotel. The hotel dates from the Art Deco era and rightly bills itself as “London’s Art Deco jewel” – stepping into the foyer is like stepping back in time to a more gracious era altogether. The restaurant is similarly decorated and is a feast for the eyes, all high ceilings and authentic Deco details and furnishings – I particularly adore the light fittings. I don’t know how, but we got arguably the best table in the house – a round table at the back of the room facing the entrance, against a wall so that we were both seated to look out across the room. We could see everyone and everyone could see us – certainly the table to see and be seen! The first things we noticed were the fabulous underplates which were rimmed in Art Deco style with silver leaf designs. To die for. I was quite disappointed when they were whisked away after we placed our order! The extremely polite and friendly staff settled us in and brought us the menus (both the a la carte and the set lunch) together with the wine list. Perused the a la carte menu but we knew what we were there for – the 3-course set lunch menu! It is without a doubt London’s best foodie bargain at £30 for three courses.

We ordered our first 2 courses & examined the telephone directory-sized wine list – I am always impressed by their extensive list as there is something to suit everyone’s palate and wallet.  And of course, if you don’t know Chateau Lafites from your Californian Zins, the sommelier is on hand to assist you without the slightest hint of condescension. As I was going back to work and Greg was planning some sightseeing, we opted to have a glass as opposed to a bottle and selected a glass each of an Austrian Riesling which turned out to be perfect with the food. Then came the warm, fresh bread rolls with unspeakably good butter, a pat each of salted and unsalted.  I should have asked where they source their butter from as it was fantastic (says the cholesterol queen!) – Greg surmised France.  Needless to say we made short work of the salted pat and wee soon onto our second pat!  Next, our charming waiter brought us an amuse bouche, which was a teacup of what we concluded was a creamy celery and mushroom soup garnished with truffle oil.  At the bottom of the bowl were slivers of really strongly-flavoured and delicious mushrooms, so you ended your amuse on a high note.  Delicious.

For my starter I had a tian of Cromer crab and avocado with confit plum tomatoes and Marie Rose sauce while Greg had a Jerusalem artichoke risotto with sherry vinegar caramel and Parmesan shavings. My starter looked absolutely gorgeous – a little tower topped with a round of plum tomato and a dab of olive tapenade in the middle of an eye-shaped plate (I really love the crockery they use!).  The flavours and textures were subtle and really fabulous. The crab was shredded and mixed with tiny slices of baby asparagus tips and tine cubes of apple which made a delightful counterpoint to the rich crab meat and added some textural interest. But I have to say that Greg was the winner on the starters – his risotto was absolutely divine – gooey, infused with the unmistakeable earthy flavour of artichokes and toped with the zingy sherry vinegar caramel – incredible.

For my main course I had smoked pork belly with chocroute, glazed carrots, fried quail’s egg and Madeira Sauce.  This arrived looking beautiful – four little slices of pork topped with the tiny but perfect fried egg resting on a bed of chocroute and surrounded by cubes of glazed carrot and teensy little mushrooms.  Greg had roast calves’ liver on a bed of Savoy cabbage flavoured with marjoram, celeriac puree and braised baby onions. Everything just LOOKED so beautiful – you didn’t really want to start eating and spoil the picture. I kept kicking myself for not bringing my camera… but I guess in some ways it’s a good thing as the lack of photographic record forced us to take detailed mental notes on what we were eating. My pork was delicious with a deep smoky flavour and so tender it was falling apart at the touch of a fork.  Each slice was edged with just enough fat and the flavour of the pork paired very nicely with the tart sauerkraut and sweet carrot cubes. But Greg once again had the winner – the calves’ liver was rare (they had given Greg the option and after a moment’s hesitation he had decided to chance it – he reasoned that if Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen didn’t know how to do rare liver correctly, nobody would!) and absolutely perfect – firm on the outside but pate-like and gooey inside.

After these two very happy courses, the time came to revisit the menu and ponder dessert.  There were some great choices – I was particularly tempted by the warm walnut cake with coffee ice cream and marinated oranges.  But there really was no decision to be made – my most lasting memory of my previous visit was the utterly spectacular cheese trolley and so we both opted for cheese and biscuits.  The most charming cheese waiter (isn’t that great?? Now there’s a job I’d like!) brought the trolley over to our table and explained the selection to us. To put you in the picture, Gordon Ramsay has a cheese trolley the size of dessert trolleys that I remember from my youth.  No plate of 3 standard cheeses, oatcakes and don’t-ask-me-what-the-cheese-are-I-just-work-here service here.  The trolley contained probably about 30 types of cheese and they were classified broadly into goat’s cheese, soft cheese and hard cheese. The waiter asked what sort of cheese we liked – soft cheese, hard cheese, mild cheese, cheese with rind etc etc and based on that, started making suggestions. I wish I had taken the time to write down the names of the cheeses I chose, but I was so lost in my happy moment of cheese selection that I wrote down not a single word – sorry!!

For my plate, I chose two kinds of blue cheese (both French and both marinated in different types of alcohol – I think one was armagnac); a truffled Brie with a seam of truffle shavings running through the middle of it; the mouldiest, ooziest soft cheese on the board (highly recommended by the waiter, so I gave in despite my misgivings about its appearance!!) and a hard French cheese, rather like mature cheddar. Greg went for a mature cheddar, a hard cheese from the Isle of Mull, a mild camembert-type cheese with a hard grey rind that appeared to have fern leaves pressed into it (very pretty!); a goat’s cheese flavoured with garlic and black pepper; and another soft cheese marinated in Calvados. This was all served with crackers & seedless grapes. My plate turned out to be the winner (at last!  I make the better choice!). The mouldy, gooey cheese defied its scary appearance – it was smoked and absolutely divine – rather mild but with a definite smoky flavour.  But the star of the show was probably the truffled Brie, redolent with the pungent flavour of truffles. From Greg’s plate, the pepper and garlic goat’s cheese was probably the best & the mature cheddar was very good, but not as exotic as much of the other stuff that we could have had. Ah well, next time!

By this stage it was well beyond the end of my lunch “hour” so we thought it wise to get the bill, which came together with a generous bowl of the restaurant’s signature home-made chocolate truffles. They were roughly the size of marbles and dusted with cocoa. But once you bit into them, they contained the most delicious burnt caramel liquid – it was like runny crème brulée topping! We could not stop eating them! I told Greg about their other signature – strawberry ice cream balls covered in white chocolate – but I guess we will have to go back to try them another time. But, sadly, all good things must come to an end and eventually we tore ourselves away from our table and headed back into harsh reality.

I have to say that both times I have visited this restaurant (once for dinner and on this occasion for lunch) I have had nothing but praise for the food – it is high quality, perfectly executed and beautifully presented.  And at £30 for 3 courses, surprisingly affordable.  But in the end, I think that what sets the Michelin-starred experience apart from the rest is the exceptional levels of service.  Everyone we dealt with, from the reception staff to the waiter, the sommelier and cheese waiter, was exceptionally polite and friendly without being obsequious or over-familiar and nobody rolled even one condescending eye.  Greg loved it, as did I, and I left wondering why I don’t do this more often – I mean, in London you can easily pay a lot more for a lot less!  So if you are planning a visit to London soon (or live here and feel like a treat!) do yourself a favour and try Gordon Ramsay at Claridge’s.  Why?  Because you’re worth it!

Liked: outstanding food, exceptional service, wonderful value for money
Disliked:  having to leave!

    What’s a “tian”? Is “Cromer” a region? And what’s “Mary Rose” sauce? Rosemary? And I am not posting all the other questions, that’s enough for starters.
    Reading the names of the dishes I think I would have run and looked for a sandwich 🙂 But the way you describe it it must have been heavenly.
    I am just not very adventurous when it comes to food 🙂

    Joolez,
    I agree – the menu does look daunting!! A tian is apparently an oven-proof dish, so anythign cooked in it will be a tian (rather like a terrine). However, what I had on my plate was a little tower – more like a timbale – consisting of layers of the crab mixture, tomato and olive tapenade. So basically, your guess is as good as mine! ;-). Cromer is an area of Norfolk (on the “bulge” on the east coast above London), known for its crabs. Marie Rose sauce is a cold pink sauce usually served with cold seafood (such as shripms). It containing mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, double cream, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.
    Hope that goes some way towards answering your questions!!

    My boyfriend Chris has been training to chef since he was 17 and idolises Mr. Gordon Ramsay. He’s watched many of his t.v. programmes and would love to, one day, be even half the success of Gordon himself.
    On mother’s day this year he’ll turn the big 21!!! I’m trying to find out if it would be possible at all for Chris to spend some time in a kitchen alongside Gordon Ramsay.
    This would make a fantastic surprise for his forthcoming birthday and a wonderful opportunity to meet his idol.
    Could you please provide me with some information or websites that would help me with my quest.
    Thanks

    I have had the best food at Hospital Road. Clare Smyth and team, superb.
    Also cooking from several of Gordon’s books, old and new , always fantastic results.
    Visited Bread Street Kitchen , very nice especially the shepherds pie.

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above. 

What do you like to do with blood oranges? I'd love to hear in the comments!

Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a p Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a picture of a Moorish palace, a castle or a cathedral? And that you can get to it from central London in under an hour?

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
