Wild Honey, the Michelin-Starred restaurant in Mayfair from Anthony Demetre and Will Smith will welcome a line-up of industry heavyweights to host a one-off Offal Dinner on 5th July. The menu, designed by Anthony Demetre will explore the nuances of offal, while the guest panel will offer their musings on the often misunderstood meat.
The evening will be comperéd by food writer Rosie Birkett, a proponent of offal since her first taste as a child. Rosie will be joined by a panel of food writers and experts; Tim Hayward, William Sitwell and Xanthe Clay, who will impart their wisdom on the matter, whilst Martin Morales and Lyle’s Head Chef James Lowe will share their insights on cooking with offal.
Each course will be punctuated with conversation and a Q & A between the panel and fellow guests. Anthony’s menu will tackle offal head on, getting straight to the ‘Heart of the matter’ with ox heart, followed by; ‘Pigs head and bread’, ‘Lamb sweetbreads and rocky mountain oysters with sheeps ricotta’, ‘Grilled Beef bavette and honeycomb’ and ‘Blood and chocolate tart with Jersey milk sorbet’. The menu will be complemented with wines from Wild Honey’s extensive wine bins, showcasing wines from the most exciting wine growing regions.
‘Offal is an ingredient to be revered rather than feared – it’s versatile, full of flavour and shouldn’t be shied away from. Although its popularity has taken a hit over the last few decades, we’re seeing a resurgence with chefs like James and Martin championing offal on their menus. I’m looking forward to picking the brains of some of the industry’s leading experts and celebrating this undervalued cut.’ says Anthony Demetre.
