Jackson Boxer says: “Selfridges fascinates me. I love the scale, the crowds, the way it smells, the way it sounds, the smooth constant glide of those crisscrossing escalators. I’m enormously excited to take over The Corner at Selfridges and revitalize this beautiful jewel in one of London’s most iconic and glamorous institutions.”
Boxer opened Brunswick House in his early twenties and has spent the last decade building it up to one of the most interesting and distinctive restaurants in the city. He opened Orasay in 2019, which is now regarded as one of the best seafood restaurants in the capital, as well as directing the kitchen at the newly reopened Cowley Manor in the Cotswolds. His cooking is bold, concentrated, thoughtful and delicious, focusing on the simple presentation of ingredients at the peak of their season, prepared with care and attention.
At Jackson Boxer at The Corner, Jackson’s dishes will be served on Serax “La Mère” tableware by Marie Michielssen. Serax is a Belgian design brand, creating contemporary homeware in collaboration with leading international designers and makers.
