CORD by Le Cordon Bleu
CORD by Le Cordon Bleu is in a Grade II listed building on Fleet Street, just moments from St Paul’s, making it an easily accessible destination for corporate gatherings, private celebrations, and memorable events.
Our 3 AA Rosette restaurant is led by Executive Chef Karl O’Dell, whose culinary team brings Le Cordon Bleu precision to every dish, using seasonal produce sourced from across the British Isles. With discreet, professional service and attention to detail, every event is crafted to leave a lasting impression.
The venue is well-suited to intimate dinners, standing receptions, corporate celebrations, award ceremonies, and milestone occasions. For something more hands-on, Le Cordon Bleu’s cookery school offers team-building experiences where guests can learn from expert chefs in a working kitchen, ideal for corporate away days or group celebrations.
CORD Café is a relaxed yet refined space for colleagues and friends to gather throughout the day, featuring artisan breads, French pâtisseries, gourmet sandwiches, and a carefully curated wine list. From 5pm, the café is also available for private hire, perfect for canapés and drinks receptions or seated dinners in a more informal setting.
