The season, in sequence
Seasonal Tasting Menus
A tasting menu is an argument about the season. Eight or so courses, each making a single point, none overstaying its welcome.
The commission
Samuel’s tasting menus are written weeks ahead and finished days before — late enough for the market to have the final say. Hand-dived scallops when the boats have been out; asparagus in its short window; game when the calendar allows.
Courses are small, exact and unhurried. Wine pairings can be arranged around your own cellar or sourced to match.
In brief
- Form
- Five to eight courses, seasonal by definition
- Pairing
- Arranged around your cellar, or recommended
- Pace
- An evening, not a race — typically three hours
