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.

Each chef will present a unique menu, priced at £75 per person, drawing upon their individual influences and experiences. While not exclusively focused on seafood, participants will have access to superior produce sourced from dayboat fishermen via The Sea, The Sea’s wholesale branch in Cornwall. 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:
