Lacey oversaw the food offer at two venues - Gilroy’s Loft and The Porter’s Table – at the £70m new microbrewery and culture hub in Covent Garden.
Lacey, who left the business in early June having worked on the project for a year, has handed over the culinary lead to head chef Jamian Lewis.
Gilroy’s Loft is a rooftop restaurant that takes its name from John Gilroy, the mastermind behind some of the most memorable Guinness campaigns and serves a seafood- focused menu celebrating the best of Britain’s coast.
The Porter’s Table, which pays homage to the porters of Covent Garden who moved goods through the markets, serves a sharing menu of British dishes focusing on locally sourced ingredients.
The menu and style of the restaurants will stay very much in the same spirit, according to the brewery, with Lewis having been closely involved in the projects from the beginning.
Lacey, formerly of Hicce in Coal Drops Yard and Michelin-starred restaurant Murano, will focus on new projects.
