menu food
Theo has enhanced his menu of simple, rustic, Italian cuisine with new dishes to sit alongside his classic signature dishes.
The new menu is now available following a refresh of the restaurant interiors.
My menu is made up of the same simple rustic dishes I enjoy when I go to Italy - unfussy yet utterly delicious, a million miles away from the complicated fancy fare you would normally expect to eat in Park Lane.
When we created the revised menu we were really careful not to take out any of the classic dishes.

Review of London Italian restaurant Theo Randall at The ...
staff food menu drinks value
He worked from 1989 at The River Café for seventeen years, working his way up to head chef and bringing the restaurant a Michelin star in 1997 in the process.
It is hard enough navigating a large wine list trying to find some label that that you know and like, so while this kind of whimsical idea probably sounded good in a brainstorming session after a few glasses of Chianti, it does not translate well to the page.
Sample wines were Alta Quota Gran Sasso 2010 at £54 for a bottle that you can find in the high street for £17, Roccalini Barbaresco 2011 at £80 compared to a retail price of £22, and Isole e Olena Chardonnay Collezione de Marchi 2013 at £100 for a label that will set you back £31 in a shop.
For those with the means, Cannubi Boschis Sandrone 1999 was a chunky £380 for a bottle that costs £130 to buy in the street, and Gaja Sorri Tildin 1998 was an unnecessarily greedy £780 for a label whose current market price is £231, 3.8 times retail once service is included, and a cash mark-up of £646 in all; nice work if you can get it.
Overall this was a most enjoyable meal, the cooking precise and dishes full of flavour, and the new room is a better setting for Mr Randall’s understated talents.

When Theo Randall left The River Café beside the Thames after working there for 17 years — 10 of them as head chef — his decision to throw in his lot with The InterContinental Park Lane rather than launch an independent place of his own puzzled many of us who dwell on such things.
Ten years on from that start in autumn 2006, with two books written and various Best This, Best That awards lobbed his way, Randall’s revamped restaurant with its new look and apparently embellished menu re-opened last week.
Taggiasca olives, Lamon borlotti beans, Castelluccio lentils — those little devils insinuate themselves all over the place on Randall’s menu — Volpaia vinegar, pecorino di Pienza and so forth are not the arcane, magical invocations they perhaps once were.
Restaurants as varied (and enticing) as Bocca di Lupo, Lurra, Brunswick House Café, Portland, Newman Arms, Noble Rot, Kitty Fisher’s and Frenchie — to name just a few — all procure pristine produce and treat it mindfully, the approach that The River Café espoused to astonished acclaim nearly 30 years ago.
“Five-star hotel eating costs a lot” is not breaking news but even an attempt to take advantage of a re-opening offer — Hot Dinners’ 50 per cent off food cost offer (no longer applicable) — is thwarted first by no response to the booking and then the full amount being charged, amended after protest.

Sometimes you just have to put your money where your mouth is 1 Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London W1 (020 7409 3131) Meal for two, with wine, £140 Too often at dinner there is a third, invisible person sitting alongside myself and my companion.
We knew we were in for a good time when a plate of antipasti arrived, starring pieces of grilled onion squash (a new one on me) which had the even texture of butter and the pure vegetal sweetness one seeks but so rarely finds.
My lovely starter of tender curls of squid with anchovies, chopped parsley and fresh cannellini beans, cooked to retain their bite, was completely trumped by my companion's plate of warm vegetables - carrots and red peppers, Swiss chard, and artichokes, both Jerusalem and globe - draped with bagna caude, that intense, dark, savoury sauce of anchovies and garlic.
If anything, mains were better than the starters, and I'm sure you would argue that at around £26 each they ought to be: on the other side of the table, an impeccable grilled veal chop with punchy salsa verde and braised fennel, and for me, a roasted fish stew, packed full of clams, monkfish, red mullet, and the freshest of Dorset blue lobster, the meat slipping from the shell like a smooth thigh from a silk stocking.
We were offered the opportunity to be formally introduced to the tarts at the bar (no, not those sorts of tarts; I'm sure the Intercontinental isn't that sort of hotel), and certainly tarts this good deserve a few bows and curtsies.
