From September 2021, Lisa Goodwin-Allen will oversee The Stafford London’s celebrated restaurant, The Game Bird, working collaboratively with the hotel’s Executive Chef, Jozef Rogulski.

To follow, there will be main courses such as Dover Sole, Potted Southport Shrimps, Sea Herbs; Jacobs Cross Lamb, Sticky Belly, Wood Roasted Leek, Sheep’s Curd; and Butter-Poached Native Lobster, House-Dried Tomatoes, Basil & Champagne.

A handful of The Game Bird’s most popular main dishes will also remain on the menu, including the Chicken Kiev; Scottish Venison Wellington; The Game Bird – Roast Squab Pigeon, Buttered Turnips, Apple, Bacon Barley Risotto; and Steak & Ale Steamed Suet Pudding.

Desserts such as Black Forest Baked Alaska for Two and Crêpes Suzette served tableside and a seasonal cocktail list will also be served from the champagne bar in the restaurant, complementing the new menu.
