Boyd's Brasserie & Bar launches in London

3rd February 2010, 11:59am

The Boyd's Brasserie & Bar has just launched within a marble setting at 8 Northumberland Avenue, off Trafalgar Square, London.

Built in 1887 as part of a 500-room 'grand hotel', the space, once named The Marble Hall, again opens its doors to the public having been occupied by the Crown since 1940. 

Boyd's Brasserie is owned by Charles Boyd, the previous owner of Chester Boyd. The all-day brasserie offers modern British cuisine with dishes such as chicken liver and foie gras pâté with fig chutney and toasted brioche; crab and lobster bisque, aioli; confit leg of duck, cassoulet style; and breast of free range Sussex chicken with cep risotto and truffled rocket. 

Desserts include apple tart with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce; and gypsy tart crème fraîche with peanut brittle.  There is a tapas menu, as well as a bar menu.  The pre-theatre menu is £15.50 for two courses and £18.50 for three courses.
