• Visitor Information

Owned by sommelier Katie Exton (who has come here directly from The River Cafe) and chef Peter Hall, Lorne Restaurant aims to make fine wine more approachable. It's a place where you'll want to linger over that extra bottle. Before joining The River Cafe, Katie worked as Head Sommelier at Chez Bruce and The Square where she met chef Peter Hall. His cooking style is modern British, with a focus on seasonality and produce. Working with suppliers like HG Walters Butchers and Androuet cheesemongers, the menu includes a warm salad with celeriac and candied sunflower seeds, short rib beef as well as Yorkshire curd tart served with builders tea ice cream. A light, botanical feel is created through washed-out colours, hand-crafted pottery made by family and friends, wooden tables and chairs and a marble topped bar where seasonally changing cocktails are served.
