“We’re a family: from the team in the restaurant to our small group of unique suppliers. From the vegetables we get from our farm in West Sussex who collect all our food waste to plant our crops in, to Dylan Bean from Kernow Sashimi who we source our fish from via a small fleet of dayboats (of which Dylan’s father is still the skipper). We take pride in being very much a local neighbourhood restaurant and look after part of a community garden on a council estate where we grow herbs for the restaurant.”

One of the most promising London openings of 2018.
