'Boost Your Immune System' A tantalising five-course tasting menu with a focus on Fermented Foods. Fermented foods have been consumed around the world for thousands of years. From more familiar foods such as cheese, yoghurt and sourdough bread to more specialised ingredients such as kimchi and miso from Asia, sauerkraut and creme fraiche from Europe, shanklish and doogh from the Middle East, poi and atole agrio from the Americas, and garri and togwa from Africa to name a few. A carefully crafted menu, distinctly different, focusing on an aspect of cooking that Nina holds dear.

'Waste Not Want Not' A tantalising five-course tasting menu entirely focused on Non-Native invasive ingredients, such as crayfish, jellyfish and venison. Nina has specially selected ingredients that are frequently seen as being harmful to our environment and responsible for reducing the habitats and populations of our native species. This menu is designed to challenge perceptions around these controversial ingredients, by using them rather than wasting them and at the same time raise awareness and play a small part in helping to reduce their impact on our environment.
