The Charles x Sally Abé | Vivid Chef Series

Slide into a lush leather booth for this Chef Series pairing that fuses bold but refined British nostalgia with classic French decadence.  Sally Abé of London fine-dining star The Pem will join former colleague and friend Billy Hannigan for three unmissable lunches and dinners in the grand setting of The Charles Brasserie and Bar. Having worked together at the three Michelin-starred restaurant The Ledbury in London, this promises to be a delicious reunion and celebration of their distinctive styles.

Sally’s finesse for modernised British nostalgia will combine with Billy’s elegant French approach. The result is a delectable, surprising menu that pays homage to their shared history and the wealth of experience they’ve accumulated since. All in the opulent setting of The Charles, with its soaring ceilings, crisp white tablecloths and art deco fixtures.  The Charles head pastry chef Rhiann Mead (former head pastry chef at Bennelong) will also join Sally and Billy in the kitchen to craft an innovative, exuberant dessert, the perfect end to a night of culinary creativity.
