Bentley's welcomes chef and writer Alasdair Gill for one night only, cooking a menu drawn from his new book, Knives and Spoons.
Gill trained in some of London's most demanding kitchens, and his cooking carries that discipline lightly. It is direct, generous food, made without ceremony and all the better for it.
The evening has a particular resonance here. Alasdair is the son of A.A. Gill, among the finest writers ever to turn his attention to restaurants, and a man with a long affection for this one. He understood what Bentley's is: an oyster bar on Swallow Street since 1916, still doing what it has always done, now under Richard Corrigan and still built on the best of British and Irish produce.
So — dinner in the room his father loved, cooked by his son. Expect fine food, good stories, and some sense of the life that shaped the book. We would be glad to have you at the table.
