In celebration of the National Portrait Gallery’s upcoming exhibition on the iconic Cecil Beaton, launching on 9th October, inspired by the tastes of Cecil Beaton, Chef Richard Corrigan presents a thoughtfully crafted set menu celebrating his favourite dishes.
As Chef Corrigan shares, “Cecil Beaton had an eye for beauty in the everyday and I wanted this menu to do the same. It’s straight-up, honest cooking: a smoked haddock and leek pie for his love of English classics, Jerusalem artichokes and roasted roots for that garden touch he adored, and a steamed apple pudding with Calvados custard, inspired by his own Apple Purée recipe and love or British dining. It’s food with character, just like him.”
Guests can also enjoy a signature cocktail taken directly from Cecil Beaton’s Cocktail Book, rounding off a truly immersive dining experience.
This exclusive menu will be available throughout the exhibition period, from 9th October 2025 to 14th February 2026.
Join us at The Portrait Restaurant to celebrate this one-of-a-kind collaboration, where art and cuisine come together in perfect harmony.
Available Sunday to Tuesday from 12pm to 3pm, Thursday to Saturday 12pm to 8.45pm.
