Searcys is a British hospitality company known for its elegant restaurants, Champagne bars, and catering services, especially in prestigious and historic venues. While we are always looking forward, we remain firmly rooted in our rich heritage. Founded in 1847, our story can be traced back to the vision of one man: Victorian entrepreneur and the Duke of Northumberland’s confectioner, John Searcy. He honed his skills catering at private parties for royalty and high society, and word soon spread of his talent. After 10 years of service to the Duke and Duchess, he set up his very own hospitality company in 1847. Before long, he became the most sought-after caterer in the area, renowned for his artistry and attention to detail.

Oblix is the latest venture of chef and restaurateur Rainer Becker, founder of the globally successful Zuma and Roka restaurants. Situated in Europe’s tallest building, The Shard, Oblix offers sophisticated, urban dining alongside breath-taking, panoramic views of London City. The impressive views at Oblix bring to mind another iconic skyline: that of New York. Taking this as inspiration for the menu, Oblix offers dishes from the Josper, spit roast and wood-fired ovens at the heart of the open kitchen. Seasonal, locally sourced produce features heavily on the menu, while our in-house butcher ensures the very finest cuts. Rainer worked closely alongside renowned architect Claudio Silvestrin on all design aspects of Oblix, creating a sleek environment based on a warm palette of colours, natural elements and textures. Oblix offers a dual dining experience: One side features an elegant dining room, which guests enter through the dynamic energy of the open kitchen; the other a relaxed bar lounge serving expertly crafted cocktails, deli lunches and a la carte menus. Our experienced and passionately innovative bar team have attracted some of the cocktail industry’s highest accolades. A visit to Oblix promises an unparalleled experience, with consistent and uncompromisingly high standards seen throughout. We strive to ensure that every aspect of each guest’s visit not only equals the wonderful view, but surpasses it. Please also see Zuma Restaurants and Roka Restaurants
