Firmdale hotels opens English brasserie the Potting Shed at Dorset Square Hotel

Potting Shed Fish PieFirmdale Hotels is behind some of the nicest boutique hotels in London, their most famous probably being the Charlotte Street Hotel (and we're also fans of New York's Crosby Street hotel too).

Now they're launching their latest creation - the Dorset Square Hotel, a few short steps from Marylebone station. Inside, there's a new restaurant and bar on the lower ground floor, the Potting Shed, that's going for a very English feel.

Designed by Kit Kemp (co-owner and designer for Firmdale) it's going to be an English Brasserie with a design influenced by the former occupiers - Thomas Lord’s original cricket ground. So you can expect a bright and airy look and feel while a particular feature will be a light installation designed by Martha Freud that stretches the length of one wall, made up of 198 small lights that fade on and off spelling out cricket sayings.  Cocktails will also carry on the cricketing theme with names like Bodyliner and Silly Middle Wicket.

The menu carries on the local theme, combining British cooking and some Mediterranean classics, using seasonal and locally sourced produce. So there will be the Potting Shed fish pie (£15), beer battered pollock, hand cut chips, pea purée and tartare sauce (£16.50), roast Suffolk chicken, sage and onion stuffing, game chips and bread sauce (£16) or golden beet and Kentish goat’s cheese tart, watercress and hazelnuts (£12.50). 

For dessert, there's bread and butter pudding, gooseberry and elderflower fool, chocolate Swiss roll, cherries and mascarpone cream, treacle tart, clotted cream and raspberries and, of course, Eton mess - all at a pretty reasonable £4.50

It'll be open throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner or coffee, cocktails and afternoon tea.

The Potting Shed opens on June 18 at 39-40 Dorset Square Marylebone London NW1 6QN
