Greenwich welcomes a new culinary hotspot with the opening of Highroad Social restaurant in London. This British restaurant and seafood bar promises to bring an exciting blend of traditional and contemporary flavours to the area. With open doors on July 7, 2024, Highroad Social will become a favourite among locals and visitors.
David O’Brien, former development director at Caprice Holdings, is the founder of the place. Highroad Social aims to create a dining experience emphasising seasonality and sustainability. The restaurant is led by Irish head chef Fionnan Flood, previously of The Chelsea Pig, who draws inspiration from his grandmother’s passion for cooking and dedication to using premium local ingredients.
The restaurant occupies the site of the former Rivington Grill, next to the Picturehouse cinema. Its interior design takes cues from modern Georgian townhouses and incorporates tropical elements that nod to Greenwich’s maritime history. The space accommodates 100 diners inside, with additional seating for 20 on the outside terrace. A 40-cover semi-private room on the mezzanine floor is ideal for special occasions and private events.
Highroad Social Restaurant London Menu
The menu at Highroad Social features various small, large, and sharing plates, showcasing the best of British produce. Highlights include the Glamorgan Pork Croquette, served with a rich toffee apple sauce. The Barbecued Razor Clams come paired with baked garlic and lemon sauce, and the Braised Ox Tongue and Beef Cheek are complemented with bone broth, house pickles, and pistachio. The Shallot Tarte Tatin comes with British ricotta and thyme, designed for sharing.
The raw bar is a standout feature, offering fresh seafood such as Scottish scallops, Carlingford oysters, and Cornish crabs, alongside Hereford beef tartare on toast with smoked crème fraiche and cured egg yolk.
Bar manager Clark Crown, known for his work at The Palomar, has curated a cocktail list celebrating British ingredients and local brands. The signature drink, “Olive,” is a twist on the classic martini, featuring 58 & Co Olive Oil Vodka, Knightor Cornish dry vermouth, and celery bitters. The drinks menu also includes a thoughtfully selected wine list, championing independent wineries from the UK and abroad.
Highroad Social is open Tuesday through Friday from 12 PM to 11 PM, Saturdays from 11:30 AM to 11 PM, and Sundays from 11:30 AM to 6 PM. To celebrate its opening, the restaurant offers a 25% discount on food bills for the first four weeks to its mailing list subscribers.
