Chef Michael Caines won a Michelin star for his restaurant at Lympstone Manor, and has previously held two stars at Gidleigh Park. But until now, the chef hasn't opened anything in London.
That's now changing as, according to Restaurant website, the chef is taking on all the food and drink at The Stafford London hotel in Mayfair as "Culinary Strategist". This has all come about because the Stafford group have just taken over Lympstone Manor and as part of that are bringing the chef to London. It mirrors a similar relationship that the hotel had with chef Lisa Goodwin Allen, who recently left to head up the food at The Beaumont.
As part of this deal, he'll be in charge of the main restaurant there. It's currently The Game Bird (which opened almost 10 years ago), but it will be relaunched with a new name under Caines this Autumn. Full details are to be released, but they say it will be "a fresh, elevated dining journey that celebrates the very best of British cuisine."
We'll have more news about just what Caines is planning closer to the opening date.
