Michelin-starred Chef Richard Corrigan is partnering with Searcys to launch a restaurant at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Due to open 22 June, the news comes after the gallery announced new additions to its catering following a three-year refurbishment.
Richard and Searcys will relaunch the top-floor Portrait restaurant, with the chef's menu featuring dishes created throughout Richard’s significant career reintroducing some "forgotten classics" to gallery diners.
Commenting on the new launch, Richard said: "Any chef would give their right arm to cook in such a historic building so for me to be opening a restaurant, under the same roof as all this world-class art, well, it's truly a privilege,"
Richard was appointed a chef partner by Searcys and BaxterStorey, both part of the WSH Group, last year and he has worked with the caterer in the past.
The gallery will also be home to Audrey Green by Daisy Green Collection, which will trade across the ground floor and exposed brick vaults of its Weston Wing.
The restaurant will have its own street-level entrance and serve coffee, lunches, and cakes during the day, before switching to cocktails and small plates in the evening.
Prue Freeman, founder of Daisy Green, said the group was given "unlimited access" to the gallery's collection to furnish the restaurant. Bookings for Audrey Green and the Portrait restaurant open in late spring ahead of the National Portrait Gallery reopening in June.
