THE SUNSHINE CAFÉ LIVES 🌅✨
Last weekend, the lights came back on inside one of Margate’s most iconic spaces.
For the first time in years, guests gathered inside Dreamland’s long-closed Sunshine Café - sharing stories + sunset sea views while @mark.o.brien cooked up something seriously special.
Honestly, it felt pretty magic.
BUT… we’re not done yet 👀

15th + 16th May with @ryanjacovides x @pomusmargate
Expect long tables, seasonal cooking + the rare chance to dine inside a space usually closed to the public.
Only a handful of tickets remain - so move fast.

A great peek behind the scenes from our Pop-Up at The Wykeham Arms a few weeks ago. And incredible night for the three of us getting to cook together again after all this time. Thanks so much to the team there for hosting us. We can't wait to be back!

In the middle of a huge weekend, we were honoured with this incredible review from @gracedent in the @guardian
It's always special to have your hard work recognised by the best in the business and this was a very special one. The review belongs to the whole team, so thank you to every person who worked relentlessly on Willys for the last six months to make it what it is.
I have since finished with my time there, but it stays in very good hands, and I wish them all the best in the future.
About last night… @dreamlandmargate
It has taken a LOT of people and hard work to make the Sunshine Cafe pop ups happen 👏👏👏
I got exclusive access to film the prep and have loved watching this incredibly beautiful space be made ready to host people again 💕.
Take a 👀 and @ryanjacovides is up in 2 weeks’ time - some tickets still left for 15 and 16 May.

THE PROVERBIAL CAT IS OUT THE BAG.
SATURDAY 4TH JULY
8TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY FEAST WITH @the_wandering_cumbrian@chefcarolinemeyerkerber@chef_emmess@mark.o.brien@cookingsouls
Nomadic’s 8th anniversary celebration promises to be our most extraordinary gathering yet.
This year, we’re thrilled to host MasterChef: The Professionals 2025 winner Gareth Baty, alongside fellow finalists Luke Emmess, Mark O’Brien, and Caroline Kerber — joined by Nomadic’s very own Mario Perez, who competed in this year’s competition.
As with tradition, the menu will remain a secret, adding an extra layer of anticipation and surprise to the evening.
TO BOOK VISIT
Just two weeks left until I have the honour and privilege to be the first chef to cook in the Sunshine Cafe for 17 years.
We will be cooking up some classic Steakhouse favourites to try to do justice the the most beautiful view imaginable, and we can't wait to welcome you.
We're already at 75% sold for the first two nights.
May 1st & May 2nd
If you are still looking for tickets I would recommend booking in quick! Follow the link in my bio if you're interested. Hopefully I'll see you there x
Honestly, the response to this was a surprise… and what a fantastic surprise! Originally, we kept the taster night low-key, inviting our loyal regulars from the Wykeham who've joined us for previous tastings—that's why it wasn't widely advertised this time. We've been flooded with messages about bookings, which truly warms our hearts 🙏. Due to demand, we've managed to squeeze out a couple of extra seats—one table to be exact. To keep things fair, we'll be doing a draw. The lucky winner will enjoy an unforgettable dinner for two on us.
To enter: like this post, follow the @thewykeham , @chef_emmess , @the_wandering_cumbrian & @mark.o.brien on Instagram, share to your story, and comment who you'd bring (and share with them).
We'll randomly select the winner using a comment picker tool and verify they're following all accounts before confirming. Don't worry, this won't be a one-off; we'll do more of these, and next time, we'll make sure everyone gets a chance. Thanks for the support ❤️#visitwinchester #fullers #tastingmenu #masterchefuk
Winner will be announced on Monday 20th April 🤞🏼
