A distinctively British restaurant emerges on the Thames riverbank
Brasserie Constance, a new riverside dining destination, has made its grand debut in Fulham, London. Co-owned by Michelin-star chef Adam Byatt, the restaurant is located on the first floor of the new Fulham Pier development, nestled by the River Thames and close to Fulham FC's stadium, Craven Cottage.
As the director of Brasserie Constance, Byatt brings his culinary expertise to the table, offering a modern British brasserie experience with French influences. The concept pays homage to Constance Spry, a famous florist and cookery writer who is renowned for creating Coronation chicken.
The menu at Brasserie Constance is a delightful blend of starters and sharing dishes, all with a British comfort food twist. Starters include potted duck with rosehip jelly, London smoked salmon, and braised leeks with vinaigrette. Sharing dishes feature clay pot chicken barley, crusted rack of lamb, classic British comfort foods like pie and mash, and toad in the hole. The menu also honours Spry's legacy with dishes such as Coronation chicken pâté en croûte, and mussels and cockles with cider and soda bread.
The drinks menu is equally impressive, with miniature cocktails—bite-sized martinis, negronis, and G&Ts—available alongside the main offerings. Adjacent to the restaurant, Flo, offers a curated wine list, created by Jack Byatt, Adam's son who is also the sommelier at Trinity in Clapham.
The interiors of Brasserie Constance are elegantly designed by Lazaro Rosa-Violán, who recently renovated The Palace Hotel in Madrid. Each element in the interiors pays homage to Spry's pottery work, with thoughtfully crafted ceramics, oyster shell-glazed soup bowls, hand-formed sharing platters, and Spry-inspired vases adorning the space. The main dining area features a selection of classic cocktails, from martinis to Negronis to gin and tonics.
Desserts at Brasserie Constance evoke the late Victorian era, with options like a towering baked Alaska and English strawberries with cream. Head chef Charlie Cote, who operates in the kitchen under Byatt’s consultancy, ensures that the menu focuses on British classics with a focus on seasonal ingredients.
Byatt pays tribute to Spry with his menu via dishes like chicken pâté en croûte, a twist on classic coronation chicken which Spry helped create. The restaurant is the project of the renowned chef, who also co-owns Wildflowers in Belgravia and is behind London favourites like Trinity, Bistro Union, and Charlie's at Brown's Hotel.
Brasserie Constance is located at Goldhurst House, Parr's Wy., London W6 9AN, United Kingdom. The restaurant is run daily by contract caterer Sodexo. Byatt collaborated closely with the Crafts Council to commission five female ceramicists to create bespoke, everyday objects that subtly elevate the dining experience.
Whether you're looking for a casual meal or an elegant dining experience, Brasserie Constance offers a unique blend of British tradition and modern flair, making it a must-visit destination for food lovers in London.
