Chef Dominique has launched a brunch menu for London which features his take on a number of classics including Basque Shakshuka, Florentine Breton Crêpes and Smoked Trout Salad.

The 12 new brunch dishes have been created using high-quality, carefully-sourced British ingredients, from the spring asparagus from Wye Valley Farm in Herefordshire to the Breckland Brown free-range eggs from chickens reared at Highfield Farm in Norfolk.
