The Wolseley Hospitality Group has announced that The Woseley City will open this autumn
Just short of a year after Corbin & King was bought by the Minor Hotel Group, it was revealed earlier this year that one of the group’s most renowned restaurants, The Wolseley, will be getting a second and larger location in the City.
The Corbin & King group (whose other properties include Brasserie Zédel, The Delaunay and Colbert, among others) was rebranded as The Wolseley Hospitality Group after its acquisition by Minor last year who intend to grow the group globally. The Wolseley City has been designed after the OG, inspired by the work of 160 Piccadilly’s architect William Curtis Green. Expect Byzantine chandeliers, Baroque ironwork, 1920’s Egyptian touches, a vaulted ceiling, two private dining rooms and three bar spaces. The menu will include The Wolseley classics as well as some site-specific specials, with dishes like:
- sausage & egg hash brown with sauce diable
- kedgeree with poached egg
- Welsh rarebit
- steak tartare
- treacle-cured bacon chops with a double fried egg
- plateau de fruits de mer
- sachertorte
- chocolate tart
There was a mixed response to the news online, with comments under the Instagram announcement ranging from excitement at the idea to fearing The Wolseley’s Ivy-fication. For now, whether this expansion will mean good things for the brand or mark The Wolseley’s Chef Gusteau to Chef Boyardee transformation remains to be seen.
