To the side of a small converted cricket pavilion in Hove park
is a perfect secret little courtyard we've been lucky enough
to get for our next Secret Restaurant.

It's summer again! We're going to make the most of it and get ourselves cooking outside! (and if it does rain, we've got a cosy back up plan...)

Hove Park Cafe have been kind enough to lend us their place for the night for us to host a posh grill restaurant for One Night Only on Saturday 28th June.It's the season for tomatoes and Grey Mullet, asparagus, Welsh lamb and gooseberries, cherries and rhubarb and we'll be enhancing all that with plenty of citrus and pepper.
To start everyone off, we want to share some chip dry white Port we bought back from our visit to Taylors Port house in Oporto this spring and our own sloe gin cherries!

We can't wait. Hope to see you there!
As usual, you'll need to book ahead:
