Dinner last March at the newly reopened Ledbury. Definitely a very welcome return of this London stalwart after such a long period of uncertainty.
It seems that they inevitably lost the majority of their kitchen brigade. So they had gone (I think) from a brigade of chefs that previously each had between 5 and 10 years experience working with Brett Graham, to essentially a completely new brigade headed by Tom Spenceley formerly of the excellent ⭐️⭐️ Kitchen Table. As expected, the provenance of the ingredients was excellent, from the start, amongst the snacks a pig from Coombeshead Farm to the Cornish crab, to mushrooms grown on the premises to of course the highlight of Brett’s own Sika deer served several ways.
All excellent but I couldn’t help thinking that there was still a little tweaking to do (done and done judging from recent reports👌🏻) I’d love to, and hopefully will, return in 6 months to see where they are at. Long live The Ledbury.
