The Imperial King’s Road has just celebrated its first birthday following a year which earned it a nomination for the Sustainable Pub of The Year Award. And The Imperial has now announced the appointment of new head chef Jason Lee Cole and sous chef Ollie Quelch, who have already created a new menu.
Exceptional experience
Jason and Ollie have gained exceptional experience working in some of the capitals’ leading restaurants, including Jamie Oliver’s 15 and Barbecoa. They bring their own unique style to the kitchen and menu whilst remaining true to The Imperial’s mission statement of serving ‘Internationally inspired dishes using only British, locally sourced produce’.
Included on this new menu is the inventive starter of Confit Duck Yolk and Hay Infused Egg White, a fusion sharing main of Szechuan Glazed Whole Roast Duck, Spiced Red Cabbage and Coconut Rice as well as Pan Fried Wild Sea Bream Fillet, Blackened Leeks, and Samphire & Kale Foam.
Rounding all this off is one particularly inspired dessert of chocolate pot with barley foam, a barley crisp, and chocolate sorbet.
Guests may choose to dine in the beautiful 50-seater restaurant with its large windows and bustling open plan kitchen, or the slightly less formal bar area. In addition, there’s the option of the gorgeous garden with the large heated deck area and comfy sofas, perfect for the imminent arrival of Spring. The private dining room is available for canapés or a sit down dinner for up to 60 guests.
The Imperial is open seven days a week, from 8am to midnight. The kitchen does not close.
