This autumn, Nessa, the modern British restaurant in the heart of Soho, introduces a new Express Lunch Menu, available Monday to Friday. Created by executive chef Tom Cenci, the menu brings together bold flavours, seasonal produce and a sense of comfort, now with the added ease of midday express lunch offering. Whether you have a full afternoon ahead or time to savour every bite, the Express Lunch is designed to suit your day, quick enough to keep the day moving, but never rushed. Guests can enjoy two courses for £28 or opt for three courses at £35, with menus that reflect Cenci’s signature mix of playful British cooking and global influences.
Starters include a beetroot and fig salad with sheep’s cheese and a hot honey dressing or a warming courgette cassoulet with white beans, chilli and lemon herb crumb. Mains feature squash ravioli with pumpkin and cheese purée and pine nut pesto, or beer brined chicken served with honey-glazed carrots and dill mustard sauce. Desserts include a nostalgic Jaffa Cake trifle with chocolate mousse, custard and orange syrup or classic scoops of vanilla or chocolate ice cream. For those looking to build out their lunch, a selection of sides is available including charred broccoli with smoked yoghurt, spiced potato and pepper mix reminiscent of the late-night Irish Spice Bag, and fresh fennel and citrus salad.
Set at the intersection of Brewer and Warwick Streets, Nessa is an inviting all-day spot inspired by the creative energy of Vanessa Bell. Located on the ground floor of the 1910 neo-baroque building that houses 1 Warwick, the interiors are designed by Fettle and blend classic architecture with warm textures, vintage details and contemporary ease.
The Express Lunch menu is perfect for a quick break in Soho or for those looking to impress with the perfect balance of pace, flavour and atmosphere. The Express Lunch Menu is available to book now and with walk-ins.
