His long-awaited new restaurant is coming in May
Stevie Parle has opened a number of London restaurants in his time, including Pastaio and the now-closed Rotorino, Palatino, Sardine and JOY, but Town, opening on Drury Lane, is his most ambitious one yet. Stevie, alongside Executive Chef Olly Pierrepont (ex-Luca and La Trompette), Head Chef Andy Bright (ex-Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, Saison and Fera) and chef Zinzan Riess-Hollier (ex-Luca, and Padella), will be showcasing the best sustainable British produce at the restaurant.
Town will be working closely with Wildfarmed and will be the first restaurant to serve Wildfarmed Beef, from its own herd of grass-fed cows raised in Oxfordshire. Cheeses served at the restaurant will come from Lost Valley Dairy, run by Stevie’s brother and sister-in-law Mike Parle and Darcie Mayland. The menu is set to include dishes like:
- potato bread with Wildfarmed beef dripping
- tempura sage leaves drizzled in chilli and honey from Stevie’s bees
- day boat crudo with tomato water and Todoli grapefruit
- East Kent asparagus with Mangalitsa lardo and aged cherry vinegar
- wood-grilled Romney Marsh hogget with chianti and anchovy butter
- Welsh lobster with lardo and Town XO
- Morello cherry pie with cherry stone ice cream
- Cru Virunga chocolate with Somerset cider brandy and zabaglione
Kevin Armstrong, owner of Satan’s Whiskers, is curating the cocktail list, which’ll feature a range of aperitifs, smaller serves and lower-ABV drinks. On the wine front, there’ll be a mix of old and new world bottles, with rare and special ones in the cellar.
Speaking about Town, Stevie says: “Town is the biggest, most ambitious project I’ve ever done. We are helping to pioneer a genuinely new approach to restaurant supply chains, built on knowing every farmer who grows what we cook. A team of some of London’s most skilled cooks, great drinks, and slick and friendly service in a fun space, all designed to help you forget the day-to-day — and to remember how good things can be when food, music and good people come together in the right room.”
