September 26 2024 - Hearth Suppers: Hoppers' Karan Gokani

Our next Hearth Supper with Hoppers' Karan Gokani is fully booked, but we still have room on our waitlist.

As part of our Hearth Supper series, co-founder and Creative Director of Hoppers, Karan Gokani joins us for an evening in Hearth, our restaurant where we cook over fire.

Under the helm of our Culinary Director, Skye Gyngell, and in collaboration with Hearth's Head Chef, Owen Seamark, Karan and the team will create a three-course menu that celebrates the heartfelt cooking of Hearth and the Sri Lankan and South Indian flavours of Hoppers.

The evening begins at 6:30 PM with a welcome drink, before guests are seated on long tables for an introduction to the menu from Owen and Karan and a sharing style supper that embraces the feelings and flavours of both restaurants.

Karan grew up in Mumbai and moved to England in 2005 to study law at the University of Cambridge. Even as a practicing solicitor, Karan’s passion for food and hospitality never faded and he spent time in professional kitchens in his spare time. In 2012, he left his legal career at a Magic Circle city law firm to pursue a career in hospitality, travelling across India and Sri Lanka to immerse himself in the food and culture of the countries.

JKS Restaurants and Karan opened Hoppers, a Sri Lankan and South Indian restaurant on Frith Street, Soho in 2015. This was followed by a second site in Marylebone in 2017 and a third in King’s Cross in 2020.

Skye joined Heckfield Place as Culinary Director before its opening, and has been instrumental in guiding the culinary concept and estate offering. Her signature style of dishes created using local, fresh ingredients underpin all that is served at Heckfield Place, with Skye working closely with the Home Farm team to serve produce grown on the estate.
