The counter, located at the centre of the restaurant in the Rosewood London hotel, showcases locally sourced British coastal ingredients.
A selection of Faber dishes will be available à la carte throughout Holborn Dining Room, showcasing ingredients sourced directly from Britain’s coastal communities. Dishes include Maldon oysters with rhubarb mignonette; torched Sussex Do’ya oysters with wild garlic and crème fraîche; Chalkstream trout tartare with soy, keta caviar, and nori; and John Dory with smoked eel and asparagus; alongside a Faber shellfish platter.
Also available is the eight-course British Shores tasting menu featuring dishes such as sourdough-glazed Pembrokeshire lobster with radish, rosemary, and buttermilk; and Dorset devilled crab with an aged cheddar biscuit,
“This collaboration brings together two kitchens with a shared commitment to seasonal, locally sourced ingredients,” ays Ilona Perczyk, head chef at Holborn Dining Room.
“The counter celebrates the incredible produce available right on our doorstep – from day boat catches to heritage varieties that have sustained coastal communities for generations. Guests can sit, relax, and taste the very best of what British waters have to offer.”
Faber, which opened in Hammersmith in late 2023, is run by Anthony Pender and Matt Ward, the duo behind the Yummy Pub Collective, and headed up in the kitchen by executive chef Ollie Bass.
“Working directly with fishermen, foragers and producers along Britain’s coastline means we can showcase quality ingredients at their peak,” says Bass.
“This collaboration allows us to bring that same commitment to local sourcing and seasonality to the heart of London, connecting diners directly with the people and places behind every dish.”
