Nestled in the heart of London at Lancaster Place, Spring Restaurant offers a refined dining experience within a beautifully restored 19th-century drawing room at Somerset House. The menu is a vibrant celebration of seasonal British cuisine, crafted to highlight fresh, local produce with inventive yet approachable dishes that captivate discerning food lovers.
starters
Begin your culinary journey with the Fern Verrow broccoli, a standout starter combining tender broccoli with a creamy white bean purée, complemented by the briny depth of black olives and the subtle heat of chilli oil. This dish exemplifies Spring's dedication to elevating vegetables with depth and texture.
mains
For the main course, Spring offers exquisite dishes that showcase seasonal flavors and expert technique. The five spiced quail served alongside celeriac and quince presents a beautifully balanced plate, where aromatic spices enhance the richness of tender game, paired with earthy and subtly sweet accompaniments.
Another highlight is the guinea fowl, perfectly cooked and paired with fresh broad beans, peas, and poached radishes, all brought together with a luscious aïoli. This dish embodies Spring’s philosophy of letting quality ingredients shine through simple yet sophisticated preparations.
desserts
Conclude your meal with one of Spring’s beautifully crafted desserts. The meringue with rhubarb ice cream offers a delightful contrast between the crisp, airy meringue and the tart, refreshing rhubarb ice cream—an elegant balance of textures and flavors.
Alternatively, indulge in the blood orange brûlée custard tart, a smooth and silky custard tart infused with the bright, citrusy notes of blood orange, finished with a caramelized brûlée topping that offers a perfect crackly texture.
