He is now offering his own vision for the London restaurant scene with The Strand Dining Rooms.

Wotton House Hotel in Surrey and Green’s in St James) will include dishes such as: mustard, herb and pepper cured salmon with smoked seasonal salad; seafood Scotch egg with dark crab sauce; and brawn terrine with pigs head croquette and homemade piccalilli.

with artichoke, broad bean and cherry tomato salad; line caught cod with chive mash, poached eggs and “Innis & Gunn” ale sauce; and The Strand seafood crumble with summer greens. For dessert, the selection includes: rhubarb egg custard with shortbread and berry Eton mess with summer berry sauce.
Mark Harris comments: “London is buzzing at the moment and I'm very excited by what will be offered at The Strand Dining Rooms. Delivering all day eating with real food, exceptional service and at all times offering value for money is very much at the core of everything I believe in.
“I have a great team around me, from Russell Sage Studios on the design side to 3Interiors - the contractors who will realise the design. We have built a remarkable operational team in preparation for the summer opening. I am hoping The Strand Dining Rooms will be a wonderful addition to The Trafalgar Square area.”
