Join us for our first Friday night dinner of 2026, where we are thrilled to announce that guest chef Richard Havardi will be feeding us.
Richard has been a chef specialising in raw and plant based cuisine for the last 15 years. He is the founder of NAMA Foods, a popular raw vegan restaurant that was based in Notting Hill and regularly coaches others in plant based food preparation and techniques. He also offers both savoury and sweet plant based catering to businesses. Richard ran our sold out 'fundamentals of raw vegan cuisine' workshop last year, which was a huge hit.
Don't just take our word for it, here are some testimonials from some of our community:
‘Richard is an amazing chef, the flavours, the ingredients were superb’.
