Every year the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust holds a very special dinner to celebrate ‘Wild Food’, and this year they have chosen to hold it at Kitchen W8. This event is usually held for the Trust’s members only, but because they know our guests are very partial to delicious game dishes, they are happy for us to extend an invitation to Kitchen W8’s guests too.

Mark Kempson’s menu will be a game lover’s dream and his inventiveness and delicacy of touch will be very much on show. Each game meat has been paired with complementary flavours, from earthy elements like celeriac, wild mushrooms and truffle to summer-warmed autumnal fruits including damsons and hedgerow berries.

The evening, which starts with Champagne on arrival and ends with a delicious gIass of Taylor’s port, is a perfect way to either get excited about game you love or to try game meats that might be new to you. There will also be a brief talk about by a game expert.  Tickets, which are £200 per person, can be bought direct from the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust.

A CELEBRATION OF GAME

Suddenly, there’s a chill in the air in the mornings but also a soft mellowness in early autumn days that tells us it’s harvest time and possibly the best time of the year for any chef.  We love autumn at Kitchen W8, not least because that’s when the game season starts.

Mark Kempson is one of Britain’s very best game chefs. He has won multiple awards and he’s lauded, quite rightly, for his contemporary approach to game cooking. He does what all great chefs do – he lets the produce shine – but his seasonal pairings of game with other ingredients are exquisite, and his technique is exemplary.

Every October, for just two weeks, Mark offers a special Game menu, so if you want to experience masterly cooking and some fantastically delicious dishes don’t miss the opportunity to book. Just click the button below.

A CELEBRATION OF TRUFFLE

A touch of truffle is enough to make any meal very special but for two weeks every year we have a menu that is the ultimate special occasion. It’s the opportunity to try four different types of truffle in four dishes, and to appreciate how truffles can be rich or subtle depending on the variety and how they are used.

If you are looking for an excuse to treat yourself – or somebody else – look no further. It’s a menu that’s the height of luxury.
