Come dine with us in February...


I love eating over Christmas and I am not going to feel bad about that. 
The menu for February may seem like a lot to take on, especially after a heavy Christmas period, but really, come February, you’ll want an excellent night out to look forward to. And we say join us at the Griddle griddleproject@gmail.com  where you’ll have a jolly good old time (our neighbours think our social life is amazing) and will be very well fed indeed.
Be quick to book as we only have two nights available:
Saturday 2nd February and Saturday 23rd February.

We’ve had some really fun nights fitting 12 of you in the dining room, so we are going to keep our configuration of two tables set like a squashed ‘L’ for a while... basically that means that you can come with 11 of your friends or meet lots of new random people.

I've just made the incredible Malbec sorbet for Saturday's griddle where 10 lovely guests will be dining at our table. I first had such a sorbet, though it was actually made with beaujolais at Paul Bocuse's restaurant near Lyon and it stayed with me until I finally made it last summer.
