Great Britain Dinner

Bailliage of London, Great Britain
London, September 8, 2019

Dining at the iconic Tate Britain
" a bespoke traditional British menu including terrine of wild hare and dry-aged fillet of beef "

Members and their guests gathered in the Rex Whistler Restaurant at the iconic Tate Britain to celebrate British food and the 60th Anniversary of the Chaîne in Great Britain.

Originally opened in 1927, the Rex Whistler Restaurant was described as ‘The Most Amusing Room in Europe’, owing to its specially commissioned mural, The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats. It has been the site of political and social intrigue over the decades, as well as gaining a reputation for having one of the capital’s finest wine cellars (currently overseen by Sommelier Gustavo Medina).

Bailli Helen Sunderland-Cohen worked closely with Maître Restaurateur Matthew Randall and Executive Chef Alfio Laudani to create a bespoke traditional British menu including terrine of wild hare and dry-aged fillet of beef with superb wine pairings.
