Fortnum & Mason has been a keeper of British tradition for three centuries now, and this beautiful, verdant new restaurant reaffirms that heritage, but with a twist. Sustainability and seasonality sits at the heart of a plant-led menu at FIELD by Fortnum's, and in launching this restaurant, Fortnum & Mason is putting it's considerable weight behind the idea that homegrown food is our future.
The spacious restaurant is open to the public every day, but if you're planning something a little more private, the restaurant is available for private hire as well, though only in the mornings and evenings from Monday to Friday. You'll find FIELD by Fortnum's on the ground floor mezzanine, where a multitude of floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the restaurant in natural light. With capacity for 80 seated guests or 170 standing guests, FIELD is a really flexible space - it makes a beautiful airy venue for a drinks party, champagne reception or cocktails, but you could also host a glitzy private dinner here in the heart of Mayfair and St. James', with the superb Fortnum & Mason events team on hand to tailor the space to suit your needs.
As for the menu, every dish is designed around ingredients that are sourced daily, almost exclusively from within the UK. FIELD by Fortnum's also supports small scale fishing by sourcing from day boats while meat, dairy and vegetables are all sourced from farms that use regenerative farming principles. This is the place to go if you want to eat great British produce when it's at its peak.
Although produce comes largely from the British Isles, the inspiration for dishes comes from far and wide. Starters include kimchi fritters with Mayfield cheese and honey, burrata with bitter leaves and blood orange and a beautiful vegetarian Welsh rarebit with red onion pickle. Mains are equally eclectic - crispy fried aubergine, baba ganoush and labneh comes straight out of the Middle East, whilst Suffolk pork belly with Bramley apple compote is is quintessentially British.
