Feathered and Furred dinners at Wild Honey, Mayfair

This game season, Anthony Demetre’s Michelin-starred Wild Honey will provide the setting for a series of monthly dinners celebrating all things feathered and furred with the help of some of London’s top female sommeliers. From October through to the New Year each dinner will see an exclusive menu and a unique selection of wines to match.

Leading women in the wine world will take on Wild Honey’s very own, Chris Cavaille as they battle it out in search of the best match to Anthony’s menu. In October, Ruth Spivey, alumnus of the much-loved Arbutus will take to the stage before Laure Patry who is the Head Sommelier for Jason Atherton’s restaurants in November. December will welcome Emily Harman, of Vina Lupa to the field before the series rounds off with Natsuki Kikuya who will pair Anthony’s menu with sake in January.

Rules

New restaurants open in London every week, but it’s important to remember those that have been around for a while and still have the power to impress. As the Guardian critic Marina O’Loughlin says: ‘Use them or lose them…"

Rules, the oldest restaurant in London (est. 1798) offers timeless glamour with a wood-panelled dining room and velvet banquettes. The restaurant is a time warp and the sort of place that is unashamed to offer classic dining with tablecloths and proper service. A visit is a must during game season. Don’t forget about the upstairs bar.

Gymkhana is one of the best restaurants in Britain. When it opened in 2013, critics were falling over themselves; Giles Coren went three times in five days, Jay Rayner couldn't find a single fault. The restaurant quickly earned a Michelin star and has won a host of awards, including Best Restaurant on no fewer than three occasions.

Now they've launched a Game menu. It's seven courses for £85 or £135 with wine pairing, and includes unusual delights such as partridge samosa and muntjac biryani. Sounds truly unmissable.
