Corenucopia by Clare Smyth, London SW1: Posh, calories-be-damned cooking and a dad rock soundtrack'  restaurant review
"In a room packed with fancy types just off Sloane Square in London, I am eating a 52 plate of dover sole and chips while Status Quo's Rockin' All Over the World blasts cheerfully through the room. The chips are very nice, all crunchingly crisp and yieldingly fluffy in all the right places. All 12 of them were perfect, in fact, stood aloft in their silver serving vessel."
"A-giddy-up and giddy-up and get awaaaay, sings Francis Rossi as I perch on a velvet, pale mustard banquette that's clearly so very expensive that I shudder every time my greasy paws so much as skim close to touching it. The Core fried chicken at Corenucopia, London SW1 is served with a side of Oasis. Clare Smyth, of three Michelin-starred Core fame, is letting her hair down with this new project, Corenucopia, where she's cooking a less pricey, more comfort food-focused menu."
Corenucopia sits near Sloane Square in London and serves elevated comfort food in a posh dining room with a rock-driven soundtrack. The menu features classic comfort dishes—seafood vol-au-vent, chicken kiev, Barnsley chop and trifle—alongside a framed potato menu listing pommes anna, dauphinoise, croquettes, fondant and hasselback. Signature dishes include a battered dover sole stuffed with lobster mousse and a Core-style fried chicken. Specialty condiments arrive on gilt-framed vinegar and potato menus. Prices are noticeably lower than Clare Smyth's three-Michelin-star Core, with starters and mains offered at more moderate, accessible price points.
