In the first event of the series Henry Harris will be reviving his legendary London restaurant, Racine, on 22nd August 2020. For one day only, Londoners can enjoy the fruits of what was one of the city’s best-loved restaurants surrounded by the beauty of the secluded 3.5-acre historic Gardens by the Thames in Chelsea.
Lockdown encouraged a sense of nostalgia in Henry. Reminiscing with friends about days gone and fond memories of Racine before its closure in 2015 was the inspiration for the event. Henry has curated a four-course menu for the event and dishes selected embody the essence of Racine - relaxed, convivial and inspired by South-Western France.
Guests can take in the delights of one of London’s most picturesque settings, seated amongst some of the rarest and oldest plants in England, while enjoying dishes such as Bayonne ham with celeriac remoulade / Grilled prawns and duck magret served with marinated white beans and roasted peppers, saffron and piment aïoli / and Crème caramel with an Armagnac soaked Agen prune. A number of wines on the list for the event featured on the original Racine wine list, including the Petit Chablis, Domaine Thierry Hamlin and the Morgon Domaine Jean Ernes Descombes.
Seatings are at 1pm (£70pp) or 6.30pm (£80pp) and a Cook’s Table dining experience - newly launched for the series by Company of Cooks - is available to book exclusively for a group of ten (£110pp), with Henry presenting each course himself.
A picnic option is also available with a reduced menu for £40pp. Timings are the same as for the seated lunch and dinner but guests have the option to take away a hamper of Racine dishes and enjoy them amongst the Garden’s grounds at their own pace.
