The Mary Beale Restaurant, located within the prestigious West Lodge Park Hotel in North London, has earned widespread recognition in recent years for offering both residents and guests the opportunity to enjoy fresh, locally sourced ingredients from nearby producers.
This year, the new spring menu, launching this March, is shaping up to be the best yet, featuring starters such as a handpicked crab, fennel, and avocado cocktail, baby gem lettuce with cocktail sauce, and grilled asparagus accompanied by a crispy hen’s egg, pancetta, and hollandaise.
The team at West Lodge is committed to using the finest and freshest seasonal produce sourced locally. Guests can look forward to an array of vibrant spring vegetables, perfectly complemented by tender meats and the freshest seafood.
For Executive Chef Wayne Turner, the focus is on creating a menu that captures the vibrant freshness of spring, while reintroducing a selection of beloved classics, ensuring there’s something to please everyone.
This commitment shines through in our menu, featuring exceptional dishes such as grilled wild halibut, served with saffron potatoes, samphire, caviar, and a delicate white wine sauce. We are also passionate about expanding our vegetarian and vegan selections, with hand-rolled vegetarian gnocchi, paired with courgette ribbons, confit tomato sauce, and a sprinkle of toasted hazelnuts.
And of course, guests can still enjoy timeless favourites from the restaurant, such as corn-fed chicken ballotine served with wild garlic greens, fondant potato, and tarragon sauce, or our popular monkfish Keralan curry accompanied by basmati rice, toasted coconut, green chutney, and paratha flatbread.
Dessert enthusiasts will be truly spoilt for choice with options like the baked chocolate tart, featuring chocolate streusel and white chocolate ice cream, or the strawberry and pineapple baked cheesecake, served with strawberry buttermilk sherbet. For those who favour cheese, our curated selection of British and European cheeses is sure to impress.
“Our new spring menu is a tribute to the season’s vibrant flavours, delivering a fresh and exciting dining experience,” says Andrew Beale, Managing Director at West Lodge Park Hotel. “Many of our guests have been loyal patrons for years, and we’re committed to keeping their cherished dishes on the menu. At the same time, we felt this was the ideal opportunity to introduce some innovative new creations. We’re thrilled to share this refreshed menu with our guests and look forward to their feedback.”
Chef Wayne Turner comments, “As the Executive Chef at West Lodge Park Hotel, I am delighted to present our new Spring Menu, created with passion, teamwork, and the finest seasonal ingredients. Our team’s dedication to excellence ensures we create unforgettable dining experiences for our guests. We’re excited to unveil a menu that highlights the outstanding produce we’re fortunate to work with.
