Jason Atherton is to launch a large restaurant within luxury department store Harrods to coincide with when restaurants are permitted to open for indoor dining later this month.
Harrods Social by Jason Atherton will be a 114-seat restaurant (60 under current Covid restrictions) located on the lower ground floor of the department store and will offer customers an ‘intimate, comforting environment in which to dine’, with intricately detailed marble cornerstones, atmospheric illuminated brass signage and textured leather upholstery.
Part of Atherton’s Social Company, the restaurant will offer British cuisine in a ‘relaxed yet elegant setting’ with a menu designed to chime with Harrods upscale retail food offering by ‘showcasing the finest of British produce and seasonal ingredients’.

“Loneliness is a luxury for people like me,” Karl Lagerfeld once said. Having spent the past 20 years of my life living in restaurants for work and pleasure, for a long time I agreed with the legendary designer. What could be more restorative than supper alone at home after five straight nights eating and partying my way the length and breadth of London?
The past 12 months have taught me to be careful what I wish for. I used to long to spend a Christmas free from family obligations, instead cycling through the empty avenues and cloistered squares of the City and West End. This year, my wish was finally granted – only for it to feel no different to the previous, shuttered-up two weeks. Every day now looks like Christmas Day in the deserted streets of central London. Except, like Narnia, it is always winter but never Christmas.
Why not take the stress out of the big day and order a takeaway?

If someone had told you this time last year they were going to be ordering a takeaway on Christmas Day, you could have been forgiven for raising an eyebrow. It would have sounded a little sad, the idea of getting a pepperoni pizza on December 25. Unless they were doing it in a fabulously cool “no children yet, no family allowed, we’re getting fish and chips, staying in bed all day and watching old movies” sort of way. This year, however, all bets are off and a takeaway is now an entirely legitimate option for Christmas dinner.
