The London House: Gordon Ramsay's pearl in the old Bennett ...

Twenty years ago, I went to lunch at Aubergine, where head chef Gordon Ramsay was a culinary name with clout.

And it seems Ramsay has publicly accepted TV is his main concern, if the press release for London House is anything to go by.

There’s no mention of Ramsay having any involvement except on a business level with the former Bennett Oyster Bar and his name only appears in the ‘Editor’s Notes’ section of the release that provides background to the Gordon Ramsay Group.

Small portions are irksome but the cost is relatively low (£28 for a three-course lunch), although Ramsay does have form in bumping up prices after the critics have gone.

I bet Ramsay will love it when he goes – it’ll probably remind him a bit of Aubergine, too.

London House Restaurant Relaunch Review

Down the quaint and pretty lane that is Battersea Square stands a regal yet inviting restaurant and cocktail bar: London House, serving up a storm of bold and tantalising flavours with simple yet effective finesse, making the dining experience that of haute cuisine to taste in a relaxed and laid back setting.

The Re-launch of this individual of the Ramsay Restaurants has restyled the experience from what was a more formal and fine dining setting, to that of a laid back, sociable environment and gregarious atmosphere, whilst retaining the Ramsay standards of consistently delivering exceptional food and drinks.

The meal was exceptionally served by a brilliant waiter team, one worth particular mention with the discernible culinary expertise associated with a French accent: food tastes that bit better when delivered to you with a Français stamp of approval, it is a defining factor that delivers ones dining experience to that of haute cuisine!

Regal Food in Regal setting begets a regal reception; however it is an experience that needs not be exclusive to a fine dining etiquette but one that has come to enjoy the food their way.

He makes deliciously tasty food look and feel easy, with paired back ingredients truly making beautiful cuisine with that attention to detail, cooking genius, knowledge, and keen uncomplicated signature, making powerfully gorgeous flavours simply but astoundingly effectively.

London House, restaurant review: Fabulous, fantastic, formidable - any

I think I've been doing this lark just long enough to know that when reviewing a Gordon Ramsay establishment, you're meant to start off with some long anecdote about how you crossed swords with the effing blond years ago, spat at him in his own restaurant, and vowed to destroy his evil business empire in your remaining days on earth, if it's the one thing you ever do.

Of the starters, the braised pig's head croquette with quail's egg, pickled carrot and caper mayonnaise is memorably good: the croquette alternately crisp and soft and always warm, the egg perfectly runny, the rest of the dish acidic and cutting.

Though the dish is not half as delicious, or twangy, as the crab tortellini with black radish and a pungent shellfish broth.

The Cartmel Valley venison haunch with creamed cauliflower and braised puy lentils is warming and full of game flavour; the Norfolk chicken with butter-roasted sweet potato comes with a little fried polenta cake that is fluffy on the inside; the ray wing is meaty and succulent, and has salt-baked beetroot, Parmesan, kale and cabbage salad for company; and the Cumbrian beef has a beautiful spiced parsnip – not chilli-hot, just spicy – with a world-beating stuffed potato gnocchi.

These little globules of starchy joy have braised beef cheek inside, ribbons of hot tender flesh, and would be worth the trip to Battersea all by themselves.

My third Battersea thing is Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant London House, which among the foodie rabble feels slightly persona non grata.

In London House’s defence, it is actually a very beautiful building, tucked into a corner of Battersea Square, just at that bit of South West London where one swerves in the road and suddenly the city is all twinkly and cobbled and feels more like one of those Chipping Bumfluff-on-the-Wold places that people in red jeans escape to at weekends.

Inside, London House is the Venn diagram overlap of Ramsay’s Belgravian base Pétrus, an Alice in Wonderland tea party and the Toby Carvery in Snaresbrook.

‘Here,’ London House seemed to shout, ‘you had a tiny starter and a main course as big as a child’s hand… now, voilà, have a massive bowl of passion fruit posset with a whole ginger snap rising from it like the London Eye!’

London House - restaurant review | London Evening Standard

He has lived nearby (Wandsworth) since he first moved to London 25 years ago to work for Marco Pierre White at Harvey’s in Bellevue Road — and, while it seems a bit delusional to call this extended road junction a square, he has greatly smartened up this trafficky corner with London House (awful, unrememberable name, already taken by a restaurant in Woking, incidentally).

The chef at London House is Dublin-born Anna Haugh-Kelly, who has worked in London since 2005 in such places as Pied à Terre and The Square and, since joining the Ramsay Group last summer, has trained in his restaurants around the world, including the US, to learn the house style.

In one of the several conjoined dining rooms it’s all much lighter, very black and white, with generously spaced tables, good linen, handsome Robert Welch cutlery and Riedel glasses.

Crab tortellini, black radish and shellfish broth was three parcels of white crabmeat, a quite delicate flavour a little overwhelmed by the strong broth which had been given an oriental inflection (a Ramsay tic) with sesame oil and spicing — again, the slice of pickled radish seemed superfluous, perhaps mainly a visual punctuation.

Baked haddock with squid ink and a lemon and cockle dressing was also dramatically presented, the nicely flaking piece of white fish initially coated in black, the thick and zesty lemon sauce smeared over one side of the plate, the creamy shellfish one over the other.

We also ended up with Yorkshire puddings looking like David Hasselhoff.

The well-stacked phase only lasted as long as the Hoff’s singing career, but in the latest Gordon Ramsay restaurant in 2014, I’m having a flashback.

This is fine dining as it used to be, with the staff spiffingly well-dressed, roses on the tables, low lighting and diners dressed in their finest.

Yet, apart from the alarmingly buff rum baba, the food here is perfectly rendered and up-to-the-minute.

The dinner menu’s a three-course prix fixe (£35), with several choices at each course.
