The Grill at the Dorchester is to relaunch with a new look, new team and an updated menu after the departure of former headliner Tom Booton. It will be open fully from September 15, though is taking limited bookings until then.
In charge now is head chef Jacob Keen-Downs, who has moved to the five-star hotel from Gold in Notting Hill, working under culinary director Martyn Nail, who spent 36 years at Claridge’s before arriving at the Dorchester three years ago and is a firm believer in old-fashioned chef’s toques.
