Following his triumph on MasterChef: The Professionals, chef Alex Webb opened Orion in Wimbledon Village, a French-inspired, British seafood-led restaurant at the heart of the community. Named after the constellation of Orion, whose three stars form a guiding line across the night sky, the restaurant carries personal meaning for Alex. Those stars honour his late father and two grandfathers, anchoring Orion as a tribute and a beginning.

 

Orion blends classical technique with confident, generous cooking rooted in seasonality and local suppliers. The menu moves from standout small plates including cranberry & dill cured salmon; whole baked scallop in the shell, burnt chilli and miso butter, pickled onion, and Webb’s celebrated lobster and prawn toast with black sesame, lime and chilli, to bold, produce driven mains such as hispi cabbage wrapped cod with white bean cassoulet, and Cornish monkfish fillet with celeriac purée, pickle, remoulade, sea herbs & warm tartare sauce. Desserts are playful and nostalgic, finishing the meal with Webb’s signature sense of fun.
