The Park by Jeremy King Restaurants
This week, we beat the January blues and went for lunch at The Park, one of Jeremy King's brilliant restaurants, and one of our SIDEWAYS customers.
Restaurants like this are a quiet but clear reminder of what great hospitality really looks like. Nothing showy. Nothing overworked. Just a deep sense that you are in very safe hands.
Jeremy King has said that “successful restaurants should defy analysis. They should rely on and dwell in what I consider essential and yet undefinable ingredients, heart and soul.” Sitting in The Park, that sentiment could not have felt more true.
The Lunch
I ordered the chicken club sandwich. Simple, familiar, and in my opinion, the perfect litmus test.
Perfectly cooked chicken. Crisp bacon. Beautifully balanced layers. Nothing on the plate that did not need to be there. It arrived at exactly the right moment, delivered without fuss, by a team who clearly understood the rhythm of service.
It was deeply satisfying in that reassuring way that comes from knowing something has been done properly, many times before, by people who care about getting it right.
Why This Matters to Us at SIDEWAYS
That ease does not happen by accident. It comes from teams who are trusted, supported, and trained in a way that embeds standards rather than forcing them.
This is why Jeremy King Restaurants is a SIDEWAYS customer. There is a shared belief that heart and soul in hospitality are not abstract ideas. They are built through consistent care, clarity, and confidence across the operation.
When teams are given the right support, delivered in the right way, learning shows up quietly. Standards are lived, not policed and the guest experience feels effortless as a result.
When the fundamentals are this well nailed, even a chicken club sandwich tells a much bigger story. And this one certainly did.
