A vibrant British restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden, Jamie Oliver Catherine St serves as a testament to dishes from Oliver’s childhood and years in the kitchen. Set just yards from the iconic Theatre Royal, Jamie Oliver Catherine St is a nostalgic celebration of British cuisine with a modern twist, perfect for pre-theatre dinners, celebratory meals, and casual dining.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a verdant courtyard garden with climbing plants. The main dining room features striking art deco detailing, cosy booths, with Jamie's favorite artwork adorning the walls, and a mahogany and marble bar for pre-dinner drinks and snacks.
The menu reflects the entirety of Jamie’s journey so far, taking cues from his River Cafe roots, as well as from his restaurant Fifteen. At the heart of it all is a dedication to great British produce, whether it be sustainably-farmed British meat, British-grown vegetables and fruit, or award-winning producers up and down the country like Neal’s Yard Dairy, Exmoor Caviar and Wonky Veg.
The Jamie Oliver Catherine St menu kicks off with snacks like Dusty Knuckle sourdough crackers with Bungay butter, confit duck and Blythburgh Park pork sausage with Cumberland ketchup, and croquettes with Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire cheese, sweet leeks and pickled walnuts.
Starters meanwhile, include the likes of posh prawn cocktail with British crab, shrimp, yuzu and focaccia crisps; house gravlax with Loch Duart Salmon cured in beetroot and vodka; and roasted hand-dived scallops in Cafe de Paris butter. As for main courses, anticipate langoustine scampi and chips, pan-roasted chalkstream trout, and short-rib cottage pie, alongside pasta dishes and steaks, chops, and burgers from the grill.
There’s also a great roast dinner and set menu deals on the table. Plus, Jamie Oliver Catherine St also lays on a considerable selection of house cocktails, including a mezcal Margarita made with smoked jalapenos and an ‘Espresso Martoffee’ with brandy and butterscotch.
