Oxeye, the debut restaurant from Sven Hanson Britt, situated at Embassy Gardens in Nine Elms, opens for its first public service today at lunchtime. The space consists of a 16 seater fine dining restaurant, an adjacent wine bar serving small plates and snacks, and an upstairs gallery space that can be privately booked. 

 Oxeye is a unique and intimate dining experience that takes inspiration from its partner farm in Derbyshire. The menu represents the character of this area of the UK using exceptional produce picked, foraged, reared and fished at Park Farm.
