Following the recent launch of Tom's Kitchen Somerset House, Tom Aikens is launching a seasonal, bespoke menu for this year's London Restaurant Festival which runs from 4 – 18 October.

Throughout the festival diners will be able to take advantage of a choice of either two courses priced at £19.50, or three courses priced at £24.50 from the following menu offering the finest selection of British produce:

Starters
Charcuterie Board for two including foie gras parfait, pork rillette, smoked duck and Bayonne ham

Grilled chicken paillard salad with rocket, roast tomatoes, caper berries and black olives

Soup of the day

Main Courses
Fish pie with salmon, cod and fresh herbs

Steak sandwich with watercress and crispy shallots

Seasonal risotto

Desserts
Selection of ice cream

Chocolate hot pot with pistachio ice cream

Aikens commented: "The restaurants in London have always been world class and I am delighted to be part of the Festival that truly celebrates the fine cuisine we have to offer.  This year has been hugely exciting for me with the opening of three new venues at Somerset House: Tom's Terrace throughout the summer, Tom's Deli and most recently Tom's Kitchen.

"I have developed the menu for the festival with a range of dishes that celebrate some of the finest fare we have to offer and I look forward to welcoming diners to Tom's Kitchen throughout the next two weeks."
