We are excited to collaborate with Talho Do Mar (The Sea Butchers) for this tasting event to celebrate Portugal's deep connection with the Atlantic and a menu celebrating the fantastic fish from these famous shores.

Embark on a culinary journey to Portugal without leaving London! Our exclusive tasting event invites you to indulge in the rich flavours of Portugal’s finest wines paired with exquisite fresh fish.

You will be joining us for a demonstration with a celebrated Portuguese chef - Rodrigo Alves chef from The Chiltern Fire House and Nuno Nobre - food systems consultant & fisherman cook. Both passionate about sustainable fishing, preserving the sea and eating seasonally.

Joined by a wine tasting and Portuguese wine maker who will pair wines throughout the evening, showcasing the best wine pairings from this region.

The demonstration will incudes dishes created with Portuguese staples such as sardines, horse mackerel and mackerel, highlighting their flavours and versatility.

This event is perfect for food and wine lovers looking to expand their culinary horizons. Whether you’re a seasoned gourmand or simply curious, you’ll leave with new skills, delicious recipes, and a deeper appreciation for Portugal’s rich gastronomic heritage.
