Luke French x The Botanist

7th – 11th September

Nestled between heavyweights Kol, Da Terra and St John, Sheffield’s Jöro was ranked #32 at last month’s National Restaurant Awards. Not bad for a restaurant fashioned entirely from upcycled shipping containers. But with Luke French in the kitchen, anything is possible…

Luke cut his teeth at the likes of The Fat Duck, Midsummer House and Alimentum, but the alchemy he produces in the kitchen at Jöro is all his own. 

Dishes like ‘Orkney Scallop with Kaffir Lime, Carrot and Coconut’, ‘West Country Red Deer Tartare, Barbecued Celeriac, Wasabi Mustard and Oxalis’ and ‘Ecuadorian Chocolate with Whipped Koji Butter Caramel’ draw on British, New Nordic and Asian influences but are as original as they come. In Luke‘s own words, “there aren’t many rules in our kitchen, except it has to be delicious”, which is an approach we can definitely get behind.

Get ready for another unforgettable week of contemporary British cooking at its most imaginative, and wild, as Luke brings his seasonal wizardry to Marylebone.

Luke’s residency is the fourth in our series of collaborations with The Botanist Gin celebrating the endless creative possibilities of wild ingredients.
