Michelin star chef Tony Fleming opens new restaurant in Holborn

L’oscar hotel: Fleming's latest project
Lizzie Thomson7 June 2018

The man behind The Angler’s Michelin star has launched his own menu at L’oscar's hotel restaurant in Holborn.

Having worked at some of London’s most prestigious locations with some of the biggest chefs in the industry, Tony Fleming has decided to venture out and lead his own kitchen team at The Baptist Grill.

Throughout his career, Tony has worked under many great chefs including Richard Neat at the Oxo Tower and Marco Pierre White at Criterion. After learning from the very best chefs around, he secured a Michelin star for The Angler in Moorgate in 2013 where he was working as Head Chef.

Now Fleming is putting his skills to good use as he takes up the post as Executive Chef at The Baptist Grill - a lavish new restaurant located a stone’s throw away from Holborn station.

Fleming’s new site sits in a former Baptist Church Headquarters and the 110-year-old Grade II listed building was recently restored by French designer Jacques Garcia.

The new Holborn restaurant oozes opulent touches such as crystal champagne coups and peacock metal doors and boasts a British menu with European influences.

Fleming told the Standard: “The cooking will be rooted in the classical style as that is what I believe in and is natural to me.”

“It is the basis of all good cooking and should never be ignored. At the same time, we will offer a contemporary approach to the traditional Grill Room.”

“The food will be lighter, more creative with personality. I like bold and punchy flavours.”

The Baptist Grill's menu focuses on seasonal produce and will rotate ingredients to give guests the best dishes possible.
