We are delighted to be working with John Lewis on the appointment of a new hospitality partner to operate the rooftop of its flagship Oxford Street store.
The rooftop garden was created in 2014 as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations for John Lewis, and most recently played host to Willows on the Roof’s Winter Terrace.
A suitably fitting operator is sought to deliver a compelling restaurant, bar and garden for the space, which has panoramic views across central London’s skyline.
For further info contact Kate Taylor or Tony Levine
On behalf of luxury residence operator Grand Residence Club by Marriott, we are delighted to have been tasked with sourcing a new tenant for the Mayfair restaurant premises formerly home to Le Gavroche. The fine dining restaurant – a London institution - completed its final service in January, ending a 55 year tenure. A fitting operator is sought for the 4,000 sq ft venue in Upper Brook Street, which sits below GRC’s luxury residences.
Contact Tracey Mills or Tony Levine for further information.
Coming soon to Covent Garden… London’s first Mexican “churreria”. @aguamiel.ldn - a flagship dessert bar majoring on churros doughnuts - launches this month at 24 Wellington Street; a thriving Theatreland destination close to Covent Garden Piazza.
Churros, made fresh in-house, will be served with a choice of sugar or real cinnamon and sugar, along with one of three dips (dulce de leche, condensed milk or chocolate), partnered with quality coffee and specialist Mexican hot and cold drinks, including aguas fresca, horchata and spiced hot chocolate.
@dcl_leisure acted on behalf of Shaftesbury Capital to let the 800 sq ft unit.
Set to open in March 2024, chicken lovers favourite, Wingstop, is adding to its growing empire with a dine-in location at former the Bodeans site, 169 Clapham High Street.
@wingstopuk first opened its doors in Texas in 1994. Their outstanding food and superior customer service created a demand that could only be satisfied by more locations. In 1997 they began offering franchises and today they are one of the fastest-growing concepts in North America.
Now, with 26 restaurants and 13 "delivery only" dark kitchens in the UK and over 1,500 restaurants globally; US, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, France and the UAE, Wingstop has a huge following.
Paul Tallentyre represented @bodeansbbq for the sale of the lease at a premium.

Season’s Eatings Day #15: Brutto
We end the year, and our Season’s Eating’s series, with a tribute and a toast to Russell Norman; one of hospitality’s finest and a truly inspirational figure whose loss is keenly felt.
Russell’s impact on London’s dining scene in London was immense. From the launch of Polpo in 2009 to his most recent project @bru.tto, both he and his restaurants were defined by creativity and flair, attention to detail and genuine warmth and hospitality. Whilst rapturously received and commercially successful, they were underpinned by a sincere and scholarly passion for the source of their inspiration, as was evident in Russell’s award-winning books “POLPO: a Venetian cookbook (of sorts)”, “Spuntino – Comfort Food (New York Style)”, “Venice – Four Seasons of Home Cooking” and “BRUTTO: A Simple Florentine Cookbook”.
We had the privilege of working with Russell and his business partner Richard Beatty on projects from the first Polpo on Beak Street, to Polpetto, Spuntino, Mishkin’s, Ape & Bird and Brutto - the Clerkenwell restaurant that is Russell’s take on a Florentine bistro. The lively neighbourhood trattoria proved an instant hit; a winning combination of simplicity, authenticity and conviviality, with a sprinkling of Russell’s fairy dust. Long may it live on.

Season’s Eatings Day #14: Arlington
News began to emerge earlier in the year that hospitality legend @jeremyrbking would make a very welcome return to the capital’s dining scene with not one, but three major projects.
The first to open in early 2024 will be a reinvention of Le Caprice - the restaurant where Jeremy began his career with business partner Chris Corbin - which will open under the new name of Arlington.
Though originally opened in 1947, Le Caprice took on a new lease of life when it was taken over by King and Corbin in 1981, becoming one of London’s most in-demand dining rooms with a stellar clientele, tended to by “maître d’ without equal” Jesus Adorno, with whom King is re-uniting for the project. Adaptions of old favourites from the menu for 21st century tastes are planned for @arlingtonlondon, by former Le Caprice head chef Will Halsall and team.
The launch will be followed in the spring by the opening of @theparklondon in the new Park Modern building opposite Kensington Palace Gardens, to be followed by a reinvention of institution Simpsons in the Strand.
DCL acted for Jeremy King Restaurants on the off-market acquisition of Le Caprice, as well as brokering the Park Modern and Simpsons in the Strand deals.

Season’s Eatings Day #13: Bunsik, Westfield Stratford City
@westfieldstratfordcity has today welcomed popular Korean street food brand @bunsik_london.
The fast-growing brand’s fifth site is located within the busy lower ground floor food court. Alongside its epic corn dogs, kimbap, ddukbokki and Korean fried chicken, in a first for the group, a range of vegetarian options are on offer, including the debut of its first veggie burger.
The launch marks a milestone in the growth of the ambitious brand, which launched in 2021 on Charing Cross Road.

Season’s Eatings Day #12: Sune, Broadway Market
Despite only opening in November, this newcomer to Broadway Market from hospitality power couple Honey Spencer and Charlie Sims has already been voted one of the Top 10 openings of 2023 by readers of @hotdinners.
@restosune – which takes its name from the Nordic name for son, as well as the name of sommelier Spencer’s wine mentor Sune Rosforth in Copenhagen – is a neighbourhood restaurant with a seasonal menu that champions British produce, served alongside the best seasonal natural wines.
The pair have an outstanding pedigree, with decades of experience between them gained across the globe, including Sims’ role as restaurant manager of Noma.
DCL worked on behalf of the exiting tenant and the landlord in order to negotiate a new lease.

Season’s Eatings Day #11: Farm Shop, Mayfair
Just in time for festive food shopping, independently hospitality business Artfarm has opened Farm Shop on South Audley Street, across the road from sister operations The Audley Pub and Mount Street Restaurant.
Featuring the same award-winning products as Somerset’s @farmshopuk at the 1,000 acre Durslade Farm in Bruton, the new opening also houses a separate butchery room selling high-welfare meat, including beef and lamb from the farm. Star turns include wine created from grapes grown on the estate; honey from its hives and cider from the orchard, as well as products from emerging and established artisans in the South West. Refuel on Christmas shopping trips with cheese toasties and hearty hot beef sandwiches, generously filled with the farm’s own meat, or high-quality coffee from roastery Mozzo.
A 40-cover eatery and wine cellar will open on the lower ground floor in the new year.
DCL acted for landlord Grosvenor on the letting.

Season’s Eatings Day #10: Cantinetta Antinori
In April, Knightsbridge welcomed Cantinetta Antinori – the first London restaurant for the Antinori family, renowned for producing Italy’s finest wines and their celebrated restaurant in Florence, located in the fifteenth century Palazzo Antinori.
Occupying a characterful three-storey period building, and in distinguished company with neighbours including Gucci and Louis Vuitton on Sloane Street, the vibrant and elegant restaurant offers relaxed, all day Italian dining, with signature dishes highlighting both traditional and contemporary Tuscan recipes, along with Antinori wines -including some exclusive vintages - and live jazz Thursday to Saturday evening.
DCL acted on behalf of landlord Cadogan on the letting of the Harriet Street restaurant.
