It was amazing to have @tom_hamblet as our Tunnel Club Guest Chef for the match against Chelsea F.C. An evening of great food, football and hospitality. It was also great to work and catch up with Tom again, having previously worked together at @south_lodge earlier in our careers. Watch this space… we’re excited to announce that we have a special guest chef evening with Tom booked for this summer @etchfood

Watch this dish come to life… Sweet scallop, earthy Jerusalem artichoke, crisp apple and marigold, brought together with a luxurious roe sauce. Created by Head Chef @tom_hamblet and plated with intention at The Avenue. Does this dish look like your kind of indulgence?

It's dessert time in The Avenue. Flaky, buttery puff pastry layered with silky miso and vanilla cream, bright yuzu, fig leaf, and a bold blackberry and pastis sorbet – a dish that’s as indulgent and delicious as it sounds. 🍴 Just one of the reasons The Avenue was listed in the Michelin Guide this week. ✨ Share the news and tag someone who’d love to taste this masterpiece!
