Sea Containers, the glamorous five-star Thames-side hotel on the South Bank, has already cemented itself as a go-to cocktails spot in London thanks to its bar Lyaness, manned by Mr Lyan, aka Ryan Chetiyawardana, who is widely considered one of the best mixologists in the world.
But, while Sea Containers’ cocktail bar has made waves with its experimental menus and use of weird and wonderful ingredients (the current menu contains cocktails made with ‘tree caramel’ and ‘micro-organisms’) and has become the only London venue to achieve an esteemed three-pin rating from The Pinnacle Guide, over the corridor, the hotel’s ground-floor restaurant has never achieved the same notoriety. But could that be about to change?
The Sea Containers Restaurant has just announced a new partnership with famously foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay, launching Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers from autumn this year. Few details have been announced about the collaboration, but we do know that it will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner inspired by its riverside setting. It will also have a riverside terrace for alfresco dining.
Andy Wenlock, CEO of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global, has said that the new restaurant will capture ‘the vibrancy of the South Bank while upholding the standards of quality, atmosphere and hospitality that define our restaurants globally’.
Until then, the restaurant will be open as usual if you want to enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the South Bank along with dinner.
