Chef: Paul Hood
Misc: Paul Hood is one of Jason
Atherton’s lieutenants (Atherton, who trained under Gordon Ramsey, being the “pre-eminent British international restaurateur”
with 10 restaurants across London and Asia) and has worked with him for seven
years, most recently as head chef at the Pollen Street Social, and they still
collaborate on SEH’s “contemporary bistro menu.” Atherton’s vision is “to
create an informal social setting where the surroundings are as vibrant as the
food” – Russell Sage Studios designed the exposed brick interior, complete with
white-washed copper ceilings and weathered leather banquet seats. According to
Atherton, “Social Eating House isn’t here to compete with
the best restaurants in the world, but the modern-day, young restaurateurs who are
opening in London.” Further, “everyone is looking for a night out these days.
In today’s market, you need good food in a cool space where people actually
want to hang out.” For Atherton, the goal is to “open some cool sites and make some
money.”
