British Land has partnered with Revolve - a lively, modern brasserie - to open its first ever restaurant at Broadgate. Opening in the Spring, Revolve brings a new form of dining experience to Broadgate and the City, featuring a monthly series of guest chefs from the UK and further afield.

Located in 100 Liverpool Street, the modern City brasserie will offer an everyday menu of well-accomplished classic dishes inspired by the brasseries of Paris and New York, an exceptional wine list, and cocktails by an award-winning bar team, complimented by a revolving guest chef programme.

The guest chef series at Revolve will bring a monthly rotating line-up of some of the world’s top culinary talent to the City, from upcoming talent to accomplished Michelin-starred chefs. Confirmed so far is chef Lee Westcott (formerly of Michelin-starred Pensons and The Typing Room) who will open the series, followed by John Javier (17 Little Portland St, Formerly of MASTER, Sydney), Josh Eggleton (Michelin-starred Pony Restaurant Group), Anna Hansen (Formerly of The Modern Pantry) and the newly-appointed two Michelin-starred Gareth Ward (Ynyshir Restaurant and Rooms).

Tris Hillier, CEO, Revolve, commented: “Revolve is our Brasserie Extraordinaire! All the buzz, excitement and energy of the classic brasserie format to delight the City crowd, with an additional layer of unique culinary excellence. We wanted to create a local brasserie with heart, soul and vibrancy where everyone could enjoy wonderful wines and exceptional food but importantly, we also wanted some flexibility to invite our industry Chef friends down to showcase their talents. The concept of Revolve was born and we look forward to sharing fantastic times in the City.”

Alice Keown, Leasing Director - Restaurants and Leisure at British Land, commented: “We’re thrilled to partner with Revolve to open its first ever restaurant at Broadgate. This innovative concept will be the first of its kind in the City, offering an all-day brasserie menu, and transforming into a unique culinary destination on the weekends. As workers continue to return to offices, this provides the perfect place to catch up with colleagues during the day and friends in the evening.

“We’re particularly looking forward to welcoming some amazing chefs that want to grow their brand in London, and potentially expand across our places. Broadgate continues to attract new and exciting brands, with an excellent opportunity for further restaurants to open in the two remaining units at 100 Liverpool Street.”

Located adjacent to Liverpool Street station and surrounded by the creative communities of Shoreditch, Spitalfields and Old Street, as well as the City of London, Broadgate is a well-connected hub for work, shopping, and dining. It is the largest pedestrianised neighbourhood in central London and home to an exciting mix of restaurants, bars and cafes, including Eataly, Portuguese tapas restaurant, Bar Douro, contemporary Spanish small plates restaurant, José Pizzaro, and Nest, the cocktail bar and kitchen by Urban Pubs & Bars.

Revolve will join two more restaurants opening at 100 Liverpool Street this summer, including vegan bar and restaurant, Stem & Glory, and the UK’s first ever Shiro, the Hong-Kong-based contemporary sushi restaurant by Aqua Group.

British Land was advised by Nash Bond and Davis Coffer Lyons on the new lettings.

About Lee Westcott, Executive Chef of the Guest Chef Programme at Revolve

Originally from Hertfordshire, Lee Westcott is one of the UK’s most talented and exciting chefs. Drawn to the kitchen aged 16, Westcott’s first big break was working with the Galvin brothers. He carried on working with the world’s best chefs as mentors, honing his craft in restaurants such as Tom Aikens, Noma (Copenhagen), and Jason Atherton (in Hong Kong). However, it was at the Typing Room Restaurant in the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green (London) where Westcott cemented his reputation. He won rave reviews from the likes of Fay Maschler (Evening Standard), Marina O’Loughlin (The Guardian) and Andy Hayler for his inventive dishes using the best British produce.

During his time at Typing Room, Lee also appeared on Great British Menu, representing the South East region, Saturday Kitchen and as a chef judge on Masterchef. After four years at Typing Room, Lee moved to the countryside to open Pensons at the Netherwood Estate: a magnificent field-to-fork restaurant. Under his leadership, Pensons was awarded a Michelin star only seven months after opening. Lee is now concentrating on his next project which will look to open in the summer of 2022.
