At the heart of it all is a commitment to consistency, quality, and seasonal produce, overseen personally by the chef himself.

The Chef Behind the Experience

At the helm is Richard Corrigan, Chef Patron of Corrigan’s Mayfair and one of the most recognisable names in British and Irish dining. Known for his ingredient led approach, Corrigan’s cooking draws heavily on his rural Irish upbringing and deep respect for the land.

His menus focus on seasonal produce, sustainable sourcing, and classic flavours treated with confidence rather than excess. That philosophy runs through every dish, creating food that feels generous, considered, and unmistakably his.

While menus change with the seasons, Corrigan’s cooking is often defined by dishes such as:

• Wild sea bass
• Slow cooked porchetta
• Salt aged beef Wellington with mushroom duxelle and golden pastry
• Caramelized apple crumble

Each reflects the balance Corrigan’s is known for: bold flavours, careful technique, and ingredients allowed to speak for themselves.
