Grub magazine, June 2011

“Richmond, an utterly spectacular appendage to the Thames, the luxurious bit post-Boat Race finish and pre-Berkshire pretension, is an ideal place to get married at the best of times; but the gloriously Georgian Bingham hotel is an especially fine venue” “Love and good food on the Thames: maybe I’ll get married in Richmond after all.”

Jasper Gerard, Daily Telegraph, May 2010

Cooper’s intuition regarding pairings, troilism and even shotgun marriages of ingredients is admirable and makes choosing a three-course meal agreeably time-consuming.“Passion fruit curd and one of its many accompaniments, blood orange sorbet, was notable and the petits fours featured a pâtés de fruits of blood orange and ginger that made me want to marry the pastry chef.”

The chef, Shay Cooper, paid his dues at the Vineyard in Newbury and picked up three AA rosettes at Olga Polizzi’s Hotel Endsleigh in Devon: he is a whizz at modern British cooking. My starter of organic salmon with braised octopus was wonderful, the fish so meltingly soft, it wasn’t so much cooked as minimally changed from being raw.It sat in a purée of white beans with a ragu of baby squid. The combination was combustive, salmon and squid playing off each other like Reinhardt and Grappelli. My date’s fillet of brill was beautiful: a heavenly tranche of fish, joined by a golden scallop, held in place by a lattice of rye.

John Walsh, The Independent, January 2010

“Quality boutique hotel, destination restaurant (under Shay Cooper’s award-winning supervision) and sun-filled cocktail bar in one, the Bingham makes excellent use of its riverside location by Richmond Bridge.”
