Gordon Ramsay to open Bread Street Kitchen and Bar in Stratford Cross
The 3,000 sq ft rooftop bar offers al-fresco dining with views across the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and East Bank Cultural quarter
Gordon Ramsay Restaurants is opening the 6th location of Bread Street Kitchen and Bar in Stratford Cross’ landmark Pavilion building.
Spanning all three levels of Stratford Cross’ Pavilion and set to open on 3 June, Bread Street Kitchen and Bar will operate seven days a week for lunch and dinner, with additional areas available for private dining and events, alongside a community workspace within the ground floor café, serving coffee and pastries from 8am Monday to Friday.
The 3,000 sq ft rooftop bar offers al-fresco dining with views across the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and East Bank Cultural quarter, and on the ground floor there is an additional 30-seater outside terrace.
The Stratford Cross restaurant will feature the mix of vintage and modern interiors found in Bread Street Kitchens around the world, as well as a menu showcasing new additions for the Pavilion’s guests, and a classic menu of globally inspired Gordon Ramsay dishes.
Bread Street Kitchen and Bar Stratford was chosen as the new tenant within the landmark Pavilion building due to its alignment with the diverse audiences using the Stratford Cross and the surrounding amenities.
Located at the gateway to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the heart of East London’s Stratford Cross is a £2.4bn joint venture between Lendlease and regeneration specialist LCR.
Guy Thomas, head of retail and place assets at Lendlease, said: “The Pavilion is the landmark building for Stratford, in the heart of a neighbourhood that has fast become a cultural and creative hub for London. We knew how important it would be to enliven such an iconic building, and secured Gordon Ramsey following a surrender of the former D&D lease.
“With the Everyman Cinema joining later this year, and the Turing Building launching in the coming months, a multi-dimensional F&B offer from Gordon Ramsay Restaurants gives Stratford Cross exactly what it needs to support a growing community of residents, workers, and visitors.”
Andy Wenlock, CEO of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, said: “The bold vision for Stratford Cross is what initially attracted Gordon and I to the destination. Spending time within its energetic, creative neighbourhood and inclusive community, there is no doubt it is an ideal home for us. The jewel in Stratford Cross’ crown is certainly the Pavilion building, creating a striking location for a brand-new flagship Bread Street Kitchen and Bar.”
Peter Hawthorne, CEO of LCR, said: “Taking over what is the focal point of the Stratford Cross development, Gordon Ramsay’s highly-recognised F&B brands are an ideal match for such an iconic building as the Pavilion. Stratford Cross is an exceptionally exciting location full of potential for F&B and retail brands, businesses, and residents.”
