Candlelit London Mayfair dining room with brass and velvet detail

London Mayfair

Open your restaurant to London Mayfair standards.

From concept to opening night — a restaurant and hospitality consultancy for owners who believe every detail is worth getting right.

The Standard

Every restaurant deserves to be run like the very best in London Mayfair — whatever its size or budget.

The difference between a good restaurant and a great one is rarely the food alone. It is the standards behind the scenes — the systems, the training, the discipline of hospitality practised night after night. That is the standard we bring.

The Founder

Lina Jurkeviciute-Nicholson

I have spent more than fifteen years leading some of London's most demanding dining rooms and hospitality operations — from London Mayfair private members' clubs to multi-site restaurant groups.

My career includes Head of F&B and Events at Wynn Mayfair, General Manager at Mimi Mei Fair, Multi-Site General Manager across Balfour Hospitality's bars, events and boutique hotel operations, and General Manager at Gaucho. I have led teams of 25 to 100, shaped multi-million-pound operations, and built the service culture and systems that keep exceptional venues running night after night.

Today I work directly with owners who want to open with confidence — bringing the same operational discipline, standards and people-first approach I developed in London's most competitive market.

  • 15+ years in London hospitality
