Abajo, the intimate 10-seat chef’s table located beneath the Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant HUMO, is set to host a unique all-Scottish four-hands dinner. Scheduled for Saturday 27th July, HUMO’s Head Chef Robbie Jameson will collaborate with Graeme Cheevers, the Michelin-starred chef of Glasgow’s Unalome, to present a distinctive tasting menu. This one-off event aims to showcase the chefs’ shared experiences in the realm of fine dining, with a focus on Scottish culinary traditions and innovations.

The collaboration between Robbie Jameson and Graeme Cheevers is a meeting of minds and talents, with both chefs having a rich background in high-end cuisine. Cheevershas made a name for himself by blending Scottish produce with Japanese techniques and French cooking methods. His restaurant earned a Michelin star just eight months after opening, a testament to its innovative approach and commitment to sustainability, including a kitchen powered entirely by green energy. Jameson, on the other hand, joined HUMO as Head Chef in 2023 and quickly contributed to the restaurant’s attainment of its first Michelin star under the guidance of Executive Chef Miller Prada.

The dinner will feature signature dishes and new creations from both chefs, promising an exploration of Scotland’s rich culinary landscape. Highlights include Roasted Hand-Dived Orkney Scallop with Dashi Custard and Smoked Shetland Mussel Sauce, alongside Scarlet Prawn Tartare with Prawn Jelly and N25 Oscietra caviar from Unalome. To complement the menu, diners can opt for pairings with Wildmoor whisky, such as Wildmoor’s Dark Moorland 23 Year-Old and Rugged Coast 30 Year-Old, a new range of high-aged blended Scotch whiskies that encapsulate the essence of Scotland’s natural beauty. The event will also offer a selection of fine wines curated by Head Sommelier, Julia Reynals.

The four-hands dinner is the beginning of a series of chef collaborations titled Amigos de la Casa, which will feature various renowned chefs in the future. The exclusive initiative will have seatings at 6pm and 9pm, with reservations available at £150 per person, and an optional drinks pairing for an additional £110 per person.
