Visit to Roux at Skindles river front restaurant

“A restaurant with a celebrated past – just had the most divine champagne lunch looking out over the River Thames – The Roux family can do no wrong. Back in the 70s Skindles was owned by nightclub impresario and international restaurateur, Louis Brown who re-established it as a nightclub and disco called Studio Valbonne with a guest list including Princess Margaret, Russell Harty, Michael Parkinson, and Diana Dors dancing til dawn.

Fast forward to today and?Alain Roux has recreated a real foodie affair with all the trimmings ‘Roux at Skindles’ in partnership with his late father, Michel Roux O.B.E, as he says ‘it’s the type of place I’d choose to spend time off with family and friends – great food, great wine and a sublime setting.’?

He adds: “It’s a chance to rekindle the sparkle of the old Skindles story for a new generation. But more than this, it’s a dream come true, our first opening together and a home from home. We wanted to create the kind of round-the-corner brasserie we grew up with in France, hanging out with family and neighbours”. The Roux legacy lives on.
