TWO WEEKS
TUE 29 SEPT – SAT 10 OCT
Deptford's favourite seafood restaurant, Sharkbait 'n' Swim, returns to SE8 for two weeks, with Chef Steve McClarty taking over the Jazu kitchen from Tuesday 29 Sept til Saturday 10 October. The menu is seafood focused, with a number of classics and guest-favourites from the original menu including Maldon Oysters w/ your choice of dressing - either Thai green chilli or ponzu + bonito; the seaweed-salted fries; a Smoked eel Caesar salad w/ parmesan toast; Lobster mac'n'cheese croquettes; and a Whole Seabass served w/ tom yum caramel. Jay Rayner visited Sharkbait 'n' Swim when it opened - giving it a more than favourable review in The Guardian - so we're delighted to have Steve bring his fishy fare to our end of the high street...
The full menu is available throughout the week - from Tuesday til Saturday, with the addition of the £25 Set Menu on Wednesdays - which offers 2 courses and a drink for 25 quid.
UP NEXT: LUKE CRISP
Luke Crisp joins for two weeks in the kitchen, with a menu that focuses on the produce of the season. Having worked under Jackson Boxer and, more recently, Sam Andrews at The Shaston Arms in Soho, Luke is now running various pop-ups, including stints at Italo Vauxhall and Ancestral Wines.
With a love of Mediterranean food and flavours, Luke's menu bridges summer and autumn, leaning on seasonality and elevated home cooking. Menu highlights include: Venison croquettes served w/ Comte + rosemary aioli; sea bass tartare w/ a blossom dressing, served w/ salt + pepper crisps; Luke's take on the classic Veal Tonnato - grilled pork neck w/ a tuna dressing and pickled figs. Mussels come in a sauce of tomato, spices and chicken fat; and for dessert - is a fig leaf + cardamon crème w/ an autumnal burnt squash caramel.
