IN THE KITCHEN: COA

COA : A two-week residency from Wed 25th March til Saturday 4th April by chefs Cat Poon and Luke Diboll (currently Rambutan). Cat takes inspiration from her SE London childhood, designing a menu that combines the flavours of her own family - hailing from China and Malaysia - with the Jamaican food she grew up eating at friends houses and shops in-and-around London.

"A playful, cross-cultural approach to flavour, the menu has been inspired by my own experiences, especially growing up in South East London - where I've been privileged to be exposed to a variety of food and the stories that come with them..."

With us for two weeks, from Wed 25th March until Saturday 4th April, there will be a set menu for £25 on Wednesdays, and a full à la carte menu throughout.

Kitchen opens at 6pm in the week, 5pm on Saturdays.

Bookings are open - and advised.

COMING UP: SISTERWOMAN SOUL FOOD

One week only: Sisterwoman joins us for a week of soul food - which also happens to be plant-based. Having completed residencies across London, including a long-term stint at MOKO in Tottenham. Chef Safiya's recipes are based on intensive research - bringing together history, context, flavour and technique - as she says:

"Soul food has a long, rich, vibrant history, but it is still largely unseen in London’s dining scene. Originating in the American South in the 1800s, it is a cornerstone of Black American culture
and identity. While fried chicken is often what people think of first, at the heart of soul food is technique, skill, and transformation. A
unique mixture of West African, European and Native American flavours, ingredients and techniques, the menu is inspired by my Black American, Jamaican, and British heritage, reimagined as plant-forward.

The set menu on Wednesday offers dinner and a drink for £25, and the full menu is available Wed - Saturday.

BOOKINGS ARE OPEN - AND ADVISED.
