RSJ 37th Anniversary Dinner Monday 27th March 2017


Nigel with the Germain brothers – 25th anniversary dinner

Peter Lloyd



The 37th and final RSJ Anniversary Dinner will take place later this month.

We do hope that many of you will be able to join us.

In order to preserve the ‘magic of RSJ’ and add something to the dining experience I felt there was a need to bring on board some fresh energy. It so happened around the time I was considering my options my friend and ex-head chef of RSJ Peter Lloyd was considering his. After much discussion it was decided to partner with Peter in a new South-East Asian concept utilising the private room and basement of the RSJ Restaurant.

Named Sticky Mango we were soon very busy rapidly out-growing the allotted space and the difficulty of operating two menus from the one kitchen was very challenging. Decisions had to be made and given RSJ Restaurant was about to reach its 37th Anniversary we felt perhaps the time was right for a complete change.

From April RSJ Restaurant will evolve into Sticky Mango @ RSJ. We can assure you that we will still be involved and plan to continue with our extensive Loire focused wine list.

Sticky Mango’s menu will feature modern interpretation of street food classics and flavours from Thailand , Malaysia , Singapore , Vietnam and Indonesia . All specialities of Peter who began his career as a commis chef at the House of Commons before moving to the Dorchester. He came to the RSJ in 1994 rising to Head Chef before leaving in 1998 to work at Bank Restaurant as Head Chef with a brigade of 36. After 16 years of cooking modern European food in top London venues and stages with Gordon Ramsey, Marco Pierre White, Pierre Koffmann, Phil Howard and Charlie Trotter, Peter took over at the Sanderson Hotel where he discovered a passion for Malaysian cuisine and from there the cuisine of much of South – East Asia.

After five years as Head Chef of Spice Market traveling regularly to all parts of SE Asia Peter felt it was time to show case his vast knowledge in his own restaurant. That’s where RSJ comes in!!

To celebrate the final days of RSJ as we know it and introduce Sticky Mango we plan to hold this special event (or events if needed).

We sincerely hope that all of our wonderful loyal customers will take to Sticky Mango as we have done. It should be a very exciting time. Precise dates will be confirmed shortly.

ready to welcome guests 



RSJ 36th Anniversary Dinner  
with guest chef Peter Lloyd
Tuesday 3rd May 7.15pm
£55.00


Yet another year has passed and we are holding a dinner to celebrate still being here! A four-course dinner will be served with some exceptional wines from our archives. To mark this special occasion, we have invited a former RSJ head chef to assist our current head chef in the kitchen for one night only.

Peter was promoted to head chef at RSJ at the tender age of 22, such was his exceptional talent. He has since gone on to make a name for himself as head of a number of London’s top restaurants. He has appeared on television on numerous occasions including doing the ‘omelette test’ on Saturday Morning Kitchen with James Martin. He is a truly gifted chef, great friend and loyal supporter of RSJ [and more importantly a Manchester United fan!]

It promises to be a fantastic evening to celebrate a not insignificant milestone.


Wines to be served:

Aperitif:  Crémant de Loire, Domaine de Nerleux
Amélie & Régis Neau

White wines:  2014 Pouilly Fumé, Domaine Treuillet
                     2003 Chinon Blanc, Domaine de la Noblaie

Red wines:  2013 St Nicolas de Bourgueil ‘Les Coutures’,  Frédéric Mabileau
1988 Chinon ‘Clos de L’Echo’ Couly Dutheil [Magnum]

RSJ 35th anniversary celebration dinner on 30th March 2015




RSJ Restaurant 

 Nigel Wilkinson


Tom King reports:
We had a very good evening last night with upstairs full of many loyal RSJ customers. 

I attach the menu and wines.

The 2008 Anjou Villages from Vincent Ogereau surprised Nigel and I about how well it was showing. I pulled the corks in the morning and the additional breathing time had certainly done it a favour as it was lovely and rounded with a really nice concentration.

The 1986 Clos de L'Echo was from magnums and was very good - lovely mature Chinon with life still ahead.
