Dukes Dubai Hotel has opened the Great British Restaurant (GBR), the Palm Jumeirah-based hotel’s signature dining outlet.

The hotel is set to open next month, and underwent a soft launch at the end of last year.

GBR will be headed by Dukes Dubai’s executive chef Martin Cahill, who has affirmed his desire to have a new menu every four months observing the seasonality of food and ingredients.

At launch the menu will include classics such as cod and chips, Lancashire hot pot, Colchester oysters and Dover sole, jam roly poly and walnut whip.

Infusing tastes from the UK’s rich culinary history, GBR also serves produce from a select number of heritage brands including Paxton & Whitfield Cheese, which dates back to a cheese stall in Aldwych market in 1742, and was provided to Queen Victoria under Royal Warrant from 1850.

Seven Tides CEO Abdulla Bin Sulayem said: “GBR is a blend of casual style cuisine and British tradition. It is stylish yet understated with a brasserie feel and I am convinced that it will stand out in Dubai’s highly competitive dining scene.”
