"At Somerset House, Skye Gyngell’s Spring restaurant showcases accomplished fine dining with a prominent focus on seasonal produce, with ingredients at the forefront. The a la carte menu has a broad selection of gorgeous dishes, but it’s the ‘scratch’ menu that’s most exciting. Derived from Gyngell’s Australian roots, the menu’s name honours ‘scratch tea’ — a sustainable practice of creatively producing dishes from scraps of ingredients found in the fridge. Here the menu is served between 5:30 – 6:30pm, featuring a daily-changing three-course meal. Think pasta made with re-rolled offcuts, leftover roasted vegetable soup, or lamb shank with fennel outer leaves and carrot top salsa verde." - Jonathan Hatchman
