On Tuesday 19th April Blanch & Shock will be taking over the kitchen of the Lido Café in Brockwell Park and cooking a tasting menu inspired by the ingredients that are beginning to emerge after our harsh winter and showcasing some tricks and ideas we have been working on recently.

Following a recent refurbishment The Lido Café has re-opened to the public as a smart local restaurant with a delicious and carefully-sourced seasonal menu and gwine list, overlooking the terrace of the much loved Brockwell Lido. We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to use a professional kitchen and to cook and serve dinner in such a nice space.

There are 40 seats available for the dinner, priced at 40 pounds per person, which includes five courses and coffee.

The Lido Café will offer suggested pairings from their Wine List.
