July 17 2025: Hearth Suppers with Jess Shadbolt and Annie Shi from King NYC - Open to All
As we continue our Hearth Supper series, we're excited to welcome Jess Shadbolt and Annie Shi, co-founders of King - one of The New York Times' 100 Best Restaurants in New York City for 2025 - to our kitchen on 17 July 2025 at 6:30 PM.
Under the helm of our Culinary Director, Skye Gyngell, and in collaboration with the Hearth team, the evening will bring together a shared philosophy of ingredient-led, seasonal cooking with a three-course menu that celebrates the heartfelt cooking of Hearth and the influences of Southern France and Italy from Jess and Annie's New York restaurants.
In addition, Annie will collaborate with the Heckfield bar team to create a beautiful welcome drink to accompany – all using the very best ingredients from Home Farm.
The evening begins at 6:30 PM with a welcome drink, before guests are seated on long tables for an introduction to the menu and drinks along with a sharing style supper that embraces the feelings and flavours of both restaurants.
