Thank you to Eileen from @somagazines for this article about Alex, it is a great insight into his past career.
One of the most exciting things about running our own restaurant is the ability to be creative.
This is being shown off in our up coming event … https://t.co/iacnbYqTgC

Blind dining is putting your trust in the chef.
You just tell us anything you can't eat and we then prepare a beautiful meal for you.

We will just have to wait and see!

I have asked Alex to put it on the menu at Kumquat as I think it will match our theme very well.
I just hope Alex can b… https://t.co/4ftOqNA9W4
