Celebrity backed restaurants are back in the frame with several new notable openings in London.

Bertie Blossoms

The latest to join in on the action is Ed Sheeran, who has opened this intimate two-floor pub on Portobello Road in London’s Notting Hill. Sheeran owns the pub (replacing the long-standing Spanish restaurant Galicia) alongside his manager and business partner Stuart Camp, with the name being a nod to their respective partners. Choose from hand selected wines, Champagnes (including Ed's favourite fizz brand, Bereche) and craft beers alongside a short food menu of casual pub grub.

The Fox & Pheasant

The Fox & Pheasant is an authentic old English pub located in Chelsea - owned by musician James Blunt and re-opened this Spring. The 'little country' pub was founded in 1846 and began its life as the Bedford Arms. Ten years later it changed to the Prince of Wales and in 1965 became The Fox & Pheasant. Recently refurbished (complete with a glass ceilinged conservatory) and updated with a sophisticated make-over yet keeping its charm - expect a seasonal menu of sustainable, locally sourced food as well as an all-day bar snack menu and roasts served all day on Sundays. David Beckham and Guy Ritchie are also opening up their own establishments. Check out our article on London's celebrity landlords. 

Nobu

Academy Award Hollywood winning actor, Robert De Niro is a co-owner of the Nobu hospitality empire and a pioneer of Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine. The worlds most recognized Japanese restaurant has several outposts in London including one at the Metropolitan Hotel on Park Lane - the first European venture for the group and more recently Europe’s first Nobu Hotel, the brand new Nobu Shoreditch which houses a 240-seat Nobu restaurant and a menu that features many of Nobu’s timeless dishes, such as Black Cod Miso and Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno.
