The Standard, London has announced Jordon Ezra King as its 2025 collaborator, bringing his culinary vision to Isla for the Spring season.

Jordon will take over the menu at the hotel’s all-day restaurant, drawing inspiration from Italian food and its many cross-cultural influences across the Mediterranean region. After spending time in some of London and Paris’ favourite restaurants, including Rubedo, Brawn, Le Saint Eutropé, Burro e Salvia, and Yard, before moving to the Mob test kitchen as a recipe developer, his bold, ingredient-led cooking has earned a devoted following.

Running now until Sunday 29th June; Jordon’s three-month takeover at Isla will showcase a menu rooted in Italian cuisine while drawing inspiration from Italy’s neighbouring countries and culinary traditions, particularly the cuisines of North Africa and the Levant. The menu features a selection of snacks and starters alongside hearty mains, and curated Campari cocktails ideal for both a working lunch in Isla and dinner on the terrace.

Jordon’s menu at Isla starts with a selection of snacks, including crisp polenta and crostini with lemon labneh and anchovies. Starters include burrata with endive and citrus, pizza fritta topped with fresh ricotta, dates, sumac, and mint, and tuna crudo with sweet onions, capers, and Urfa chili.

For mains, there is braised lamb and orzo slow-cooked with saffron and winter tomatoes, calamarata pasta is served with a fennel and orange seafood ragu, and the Chicken Milanese Panino adds a more casual, quick lunch option.

Sides include grilled cabbage with sherry butter and almonds, sprouting broccoli with lemon and bagna cauda. To finish, a trio of desserts; honey and chamomile panna cotta, orange and almond cake, and a rich chocolate torte and amarena cherries.

The Standard, London has partnered with Campari on an exclusive cocktail list with exclusive serves featuring a curated cocktail menu designed by Jordon in collaboration with Zoe Burgess, The Standard, London’s drinks consultant.

The menu will showcase a Lemon and Black Pepper Negroni, crafted with the unmistakable red bitterness of Campari, gin, sweet vermouth, and a lemon infusion, alongside a Blood Orange, and Rosemary Campari Bellini—perfect for spring evenings, and of course a classic Standard, London Campari Negroni and a refreshing Campari Spritz.

Additionally, select dishes from Jordon’s menu will be available through in-room dining, with the Chicken Milanese Panino, and his Campari cocktail creations, available to hotel guests.

Bookings are open now and can be made here.
