Great Taste at The Cadogan

Following a patriotic re-launch, the high-ceilinged restaurant at the luxurious Cadogan hotel has become Great Taste – a celebration of British artisan producers as judged by the food awards of the same name. With input from BBC Radio 2’s Nigel Barden and a clutch of guest ‘curators’ including the likes of Fay Maschler and Thomasina Miers, the menus offer a snapshot of the current culinary renaissance in the shape of bespoke charcuterie, smoked provisions, rare-breed meats, preserves, breads and cakes. Typical offerings might include roast Gortnamona goats’ cheese (from Cooleeney Farm) with golden beets, winter-spiced beetroot chutney and carrot crisps, the cutely titled ‘three ages of sheep’ (baked cannon of lamb, grilled hogget and braised mutton shoulder hotpot – courtesy of Rhug Estate and Yew Tree Farm), and desserts including rice pudding with Wormesley’s apple and geranium jelly.
