Fresh off the back of his recent roadblock, sold out winter pop up, The Lodge and a recent appearance cooking on This Morning – Jimmy Garcia launches his latest culinary adventure, The Secret Garden!
Kicking off next month and spanning the whole of this Spring/Summer 25th April – 31st August, The Secret Garden will be nestled behind a wooden door at 409 Clapham Road, where a surprise enchanted world awaits, fabulously set designed by London’s awesome Firecracker Works.
Find the wooden door, reach past the vines, whisper the password & step into an edible adventure featuring:
– Tabletop BBQs with three types of meat & tasty secret marinades
– Fresh botanical cocktails
– UK foragers & small farmers
– Secret Garden food from The Field, The Pond & The Patch
– Tasting menus, small plates, snacks at the bar & edible gardens
– 7 course tasting menu for £35 only
– ‘Slow Down’ roast Sundays & hangover cocktails
– A surprise enchanted world designed by Firecracker Works
– A unique and delicious dining experience into the early hours
Jimmy and the team are passionate about giving their guests a unique and delicious dining experience and the Secret Garden is no exception: diners will be treated to a food menu designed to showcase the best of Britain’s tasty garden produce with standout menu features such as indoor BBQs, tasting menus, small plates, snacks at the bar and ‘edible garden’ desserts, alongside fresh, unique and creative, botanical themed cocktails, all available into the early hours.
Sundays will see the return of Jimmy’s infamous ‘Slow Down Sundays’- a day for maximum relaxation, expect chilled out vibes, lounge music, hangover curing cocktails and a selection of slow roast meats and all the trimmings (alongside a special daily menu)
Jimmy is constantly searching high and low to bring the finest seasonal produce from the best artisan suppliers to the table. From his team of foragers, who will be supplying the best the Kentish countryside has to offer, to the chorizo Jimmy’s dad imports from his hometown in Asturias made by third generation butchers.
His trusty gamekeeper friend Rick will once again be hunting the wild game, and Chef Louie’s family will be providing us with some of the fantastic veg from their family farm, Dymmock Farm in Brighton.
Take a peek below at The Secret Garden’s sample menu created by Jimmy, Chef Louie ‘BBQ’ey’ Franklin and the team.
There will also be a 7 course tasting menu available, a bargain at just £35.00 per person
