The Sitwell Supper Club presents: Nest at Rooks Nest; a feast of British food by the chefs behind London restaurants Nest, Fenn & St Barts
About this event
The Sitwell Supper Club is delighted to announce a dinner by the talented team behind three exciting London restaurants: Nest, Fenn and St Barts. The neighbourhood restaurants of Nest, in Hackney and Fenn, in Fulham, and St Barts to be opened this autumn in Farringdon, were founded by Johnnie Crowe, Luke Wasserman and Toby Neil. With Toby front of house for this dinner, and chefs Johnnie Crowe and Kate Austen in the kitchen expect a feast of tasty starters, a pudding of chocolate mousse and lamb cooked on the BBQ as the centrepiece.
The trio are standard bearers for Modern British cuisine; embracing the UK seasons, championing small, sustainable and ethical producers and serving food in casual settings, while developing into much-loved neighbourhood restaurants.
Your host, as ever, is William Sitwell, one of Britain's foremost food writers. Restaurant critic for The Telegraph he has been a regular judge on the BBC hit show MasterChef for almost 20 years. His supper club in Somerset has quickly become a firm favourite for lovers of great food, great wine and great times!
The dinner will take place in the converted Cow Shed at William's Somerset home, Rooks Nest Farm. As a diner you'll take your seat, marked with place cards for you and your party, on one long table.
Drinks are from 7pm. Speeches and dinner at 7.30pm. The event ends at 10.30pm.
