Soho restaurant closes down after 25 years
Evening Standard06.11.08
MICHELIN-STARRED chef Richard Corrigan is closing his Soho restaurant Lindsay House after admitting it had been "a challenge".
The restaurant, which has been in existence for 25 years, will shut next May when its lease comes to an end.
The news comes as Corrigan is set to open his eponymous new dining room at London's Grosvenor House hotel today.
He said: "The Soho neighbourhood proved tough, too. Many of my staff were attacked, the restaurant was broken into and I look forward to not having to deal with that any more."

Possibly my favourite restaurant, so very sad to see it go. Good to see that Mr Corrigan is opening up elsewhere though, and of course he still has his great fish restaurant Bentleys. I will miss Lindsay House though.

How very sad, but understandable. I love this restaurant and urge anyone who can, please have dinner here before May as you will have a memorable evening.
Thank you Richard and Staff for making special occasions (for us) very special indeed.

As they say; If you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
