We’re thrilled to announce that on Sunday 8th February Gareth Storey and Ed McIlroy will be taking over the Cadet kitchen.
Hailing from Dublin, Gareth has become something of an itinerant chef, spending time over the past two decades working in kitchens across Western Europe, among them Casa Lhasa in Ibiza, Martin in Paris and Quo Vadis in the UK. Currently settled in Lisbon, he’s a man admired by many winemakers and chefs we meet on our travels, and it’s a real pleasure to finally have him cook at Cadet. Alongside Gareth we will be joined by his friend and ours, Ed McIlroy, owner of two of our favourite spots near to Cadet that we frequent when we are afforded the time to do so, The Plimsoll and Tollington’s.
On the day, friend of the pair, Hugh Corcoran, another cook who needs little introduction, will be lending a hand, and with the trio’s affinity to the Basque Country, Portugal, Spain and its Islands it seemed obvious to take the menu in an Iberian direction. Each of them brings a wealth of experience and passion for this part of the world, so expect some wonderfully soulful cooking made from the best produce available at this time of the year.
There will of course be wine, and for this event we are lucky to have a kitchen of cooks who are heavily connected with the part of the wine world we work in. They will be choosing a number of producers to feature which should accompany the menu perfectly, with plenty available by the glass, bottle and magnum.
Service will run from 2pm until 9pm, with bookings available online. We will keep a few seats for walk-ins on the day, but given we expect this to be busy, we would advise making a reservation if you can.
Thanks to Hen for the lovely poster!
