About the restaurant
Noble Rot Soho is set in the former site of the Gay Hussar on Greek St, once notorious as the lair of many left-wing politicians. British Prime Ministers Clement Atlee, Gordon Brown and Tony Blair have all dined here, and the latter’s Director of Communications, Alastair Campbell, was even rumoured to have bugged the ground floor dining room for intelligence.
Today the building’s gorgeous period features have been preserved and renovated, and Martin Rowson, the Guardian’s acerbic political cartoonist, has painted triptychs celebrating the restaurant's past and present customers in all their louche glory.
Noble Rot Soho’s menu is overseen by Head Chef Alex Jackson (ex-Sardine restaurant) and executive chef Stephen Harris. It includes subtle references to The Gay Hussar’s past and the most life-enhancing roast chicken with morels and vin jaune sauce to be found this side of France’s Jura.
