13th June 2011, 9:43am

Tom and Ed Martin, owners of acclaimed venues such as The Gun in Docklands and The Botanist on Sloane Square, have opened their latest venue in the City, Chiswell Street Dining Rooms.

Located on the corner of Milton Street (formerly known as Grub Street1) and Chiswell Street, in the original home of the Whitbread brewery, the restaurant is divided into three areas, featuring "stylish" leather tub chairs, "luxurious" banquettes and a colour palate of creams, greens and golds.

Head chef Richard O'Connell will be serving up breakfast dishes including classics such as grilled kippers and poached eggs; a Full English; or Scottish porridge oats with golden syrup, washed down with their own range of freshly squeezed, pressed and blended juices and smoothies.

Lunch consists of dishes including boiled bacon, cabbage and potatoes with parsley sauce; Cornish lemon sole with sautéed potatoes, capers and dill; and Barnsley chop, albeit from today's favourite Denham Estate, served with devilled lamb's kidney, mint, ratte potato and tarragon salad.

Meanwhile treats such as Herefordshire snail and smoked bacon pie with Guinness and mushroom sauce; seared foie gras with spiced apple brioche, candied hazelnuts and port reduction will be served up for dinner.

And the seasonal summer pudding will feature gooseberries and apple parfait; a classic British knickerbocker glory; or sticky toffee pudding with salted peanut ice cream cover any dessert dilemma. Alternatively, opt for the monthly-changing cheese board featuring delights such as Dorset's Cave Aged Wookey Hole Cheddar or Devon's soft Sharpham.

The bar area seats 25, restaurant 75 and the Grubb Street Private Dining Room seats a further 10.
