Two Pop-Ups and a Farm-Stay

MARCH RESTAURANT HIGHLIGHTS IN THE U.K.

March restaurant highlights in the U.K. include an International Women’s Day guest appearance from Savannah Hagendijk of Amsterdam’s De Kas at London’s Firebird on Saturday 8th, and two unique dining experiences from Simon Rogan MBE (one at Suffolk’s Yoxman and another at Our Farm in Cartmel).

Seating slots for Firebird’s pop-up IWD menu are almost gone, but lucky diners can expect an array of inventive dishes such as roasted beets with blood orange and kosho hollandaise, yakitori-style skewers of mussel and pumpkin with kumquat and burned mussel aioli, plus Jerusalem artichoke ice cream with a rosemary caramel and anise panna cotta and violet sorbet, made with flowers from the De Kas kitchen garden.

As for Simon Rogan, we’re keen to follow his stellar stint at Yoxman’s rural retreat with Dan Cox and Nathan Davies from 7th - 10th March, where guests are promised three days of “culinary wizardry.”

Bookings for Simon’s farm tour and informal banquet at Our Farm in the Lake District open on 3rd March. Running on select Monday’s May to September, this unique experience will be available for up to 16 diners at a time, who will have the option for an overnight stay.
