The team behind Hackney pub The Marksman will open a restaurant at the National Theatre this May.

Launching in partnership with KERB, Lasdun is described as a ‘timeless brasserie’ serving seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, ‘showcasing the very best produce Britain has to offer’.

The 90-cover restaurant will be located on the site of the former House Restaurant at the theatre and will have a marble oyster counter, central bar seating and formal table dining as well as a private dining room.

The menu will feature some of the Marksman’s signature classics, including its seasonal pies to share, buns and a new take on its brown butter and honey tart.

Grilled chops, and baked whole fish will also feature.

The restaurant is being opened by The Marksman’s founders Jon Rotheram and Tom Harris along with John Ogier, co-founder of Shoreditch restaurant Lyle’s. Lasdun will be the first venture from the trio.

“We are thrilled to be opening our new restaurant Lasdun in one of our favourite buildings and to be part of such a celebrated cultural institution as the National Theatre,” they say.

Lasdun will be open for dinner Monday to Saturday and lunch bookings will be available in line with matinees starting on Wednesdays and Saturdays only.
