Patterson's

Ever since they opened in 2003, the Patterson family have run their restaurant, tucked away in a side street in London's prestigious West End shopping district, with passion and pride. While Maria manages the front of house, the father and son team, Raymond and Tom, run a small brigade in the kitchen. The refined white-walled interior creates a muted yet relaxed atmosphere, which makes businessmen and social diners feel welcome.

A modern, sophisticated menu contains nods to the Scottish roots of the Pattersons and they go to great lengths to select the very best ingredients and, when possible, local and organic produce form the foundations of the menu. All the meat is purchased daily from the finest farms in England and Scotland. The chef remains true to his roots sourcing langoustine, lobster and crabs from his hometown in Eyemouth.

The restaurant seats eighty people in a stylishly relaxed, elegant setting. They also have a private room which can cater for twenty people at dinner and around thirty five people for a champagne reception. The lobster lunch, steamed sea bass and beef Rossini are popular choices with regular guests who also like to finish with the pineapple carpaccio and dome of dark chocolate mousse. The restaurant's warm service and weekly changing menus keeps them coming back.
