The Sea, The Sea launch Untapped weekly residency spotlighting emerging talent

The Sea, The Sea in Hackney announces Untapped, a residency series commencing on 12^th November. This programme features chefs from various culinary backgrounds the opportunity to take over the 14-seater chef’s table each Sunday to exhibit their personal cooking styles. Starting with lunch and dinner services, the series aims to provide a platform for cooks who are advancing within top restaurants, cookbook authors and those who have created supper clubs.

The restaurant’s regular wine list will complement the dining experience.

Fom Wednesday to Saturday, the chef’s table will maintain its standard eight-course seafood menu crafted by executive chef Leandro Carreira.

Below is the initial lineup for Untapped, detailing the chefs, their associated venues, and the culinary styles diners can anticipate:
