Special Menu |
This menu introduces Sonny - 'The right hand tentacles of the Octopus'. His cooking is a complex, subtle blend of European & Thai with Chinese overtones.
Sonny Kupkitabhund came from Thailand to live in London in 1986. He has worked at the Market Bar in Portobello Road, L'Escargot, & up until last year was head chef at the 'Paradise by way of Kensal Green'.
This menu would be suitable for a dinner party of 8 or more people.
