The London Service

About

Running through November, January, February and March.

One Friday, one London restaurant, no train fare.

Friday 20th November: Ixchel X Crafted

First through the door and into the kitchen for The London Service is Ixchel X Crafted, on Friday 20th November.

Ixchel is a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar on King’s Road in Chelsea, named after the Mayan goddess of the moon. The kitchen is built around a robata grill, run by chef Ximena Gayosso Gonzalez, who trained in Mexico City before moving to London. Her menu is designed for sharing, and the sourcing leans local, grass-fed and free-range meat are stars of the menu.

When: Friday 20th November.

Cost: £60 a head for three courses, with a drink included.

Friday 29th January: Morchella X Crafted

Morchella is the Clerkenwell restaurant and wine bar from co-founders Ben Marks, Matthew Emmerson, and Head Chef Daniel Fletcher. Morchella has established itself as a neighbourhood favourite, known for a relaxed yet considered balance, centred around the highest-quality, hyper-seasonal ingredients. The menu takes a modern Mediterranean approach, with dishes designed for sharing built around recognisable flavours, lighter plates and seasonal ingredients.

Friday 26th February: Maison François X Crafted

Maison François was founded by François O’Neill to realise his vision of a modern version of the beloved grand brasseries of France. Joined by partners Ed Wyand and Matthew Ryle, together they opened the bustling all day restaurant in St James’s in September 2020. The menu pays homage to the dining institutions of Paris, Alsace and Lyon, focussing on simplicity and seasonality.
