About A Taste.
A Taste by Australian chefs Chris Jordan & Samantha Harvey. It's fresh, local British food with an Aussie twist! Quirky set menus in a relaxed atmosphere.
A Taste. Description
After a successful launch of his new pop-up supper club, 'tasting room'. Chris Jordan is proud to announce a new chef joining A Taste Samantha Harvey, Chris met Samantha as an apprentice at Flying Fish in Sydney at 17 years of age.
Samantha born in Australia completed her apprenticeship at The Park Hyatt Hotel, Sydney, and enjoyed two years working in Somerset, England, at The Castle Hotel during which time it retained its Michelin Star. Chris Jordan was formerly chef at the acclaimed Flying Fish & 4fourteen restaurants in Sydney.
Sam says “As a small child I remember vividly going with my parents to the bustling fruit and vegetable markets in Flemington, as well as The Sydney Fish Markets. The smells and sounds of these markets were always captivating and that is certainly where my passion for food first began. ”.
Chris & Samantha source their ingredients from nearby farmers' markets and small businesses. Chris says, “I set up 'A Taste' to provide a genuine alternative in the London restaurant scene. Now with Tasting Room as a more permanent fixture and with the help of Samantha we plan to use the fine seasonal produce that the UK has to offer whilst adding an Australian flair".
Chris also believes that eating should be a shared experience, so the food at ‘tasting room’ will be served at large, communal tables where diners are encouraged to bring our own drinks.
