A summer of dining, Plated: Knightsbridge’s new August festival
Plated is a new month-long dining festival launching this August, jointly delivered by the Knightsbridge Partnership and King’s Road Partnership. As the invitation puts it: the finest kitchens across King’s Road and Knightsbridge open their tables with menus, pairings and moments made for Plated. No membership, no fuss – just the best of summer in the city, one reservation at a time.
In Knightsbridge, expect a mix that leans into the area’s dining pedigree. At The Lanesborough Grill, Executive Chef Shay Cooper is presenting a three-course set menu paired with a complimentary glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée, served under the dining room’s crystal chandeliers. At SETTE at Bvlgari Hotel London, Culinary Director Adriano has created a dish exclusive to the festival – Risotto al limone e ai frutti di mare, a lobster and seafood risotto finished with Amalfi lemon. Michelin-starred Kahani is showcasing chef Peter Joseph’s Afghani Lamb Do Pyaza at £22, served with a complimentary glass of Champagne on arrival.
Explore further, and you’ll discover Hawksmoor Knightsbridge is running a two or three-course set menu with a complimentary drink from just £25 – dry-aged British beef, sustainable seafood, Hawksmoor’s famous puddings. The Fifth Floor at Harvey Nichols is offering three courses and a Fever-Tree cocktail for £40, with priority terrace bookings for anyone quoting ‘Plated’. Harry’s Dolce Vita has created two Italian dishes exclusively for the festival: burrata with black truffle, and lobster ravioli with caviar. And at the Mayfair Chippy Knightsbridge, an intimate Lobster Shack, draped in nautical nets, is serving an ‘Afternoon Sea’ experience: three tiers of locally sourced seafood for £48 per person.
Two neighbourhoods, one appetite. The festival extends across the King’s Road too. The Ivy Chelsea Garden’s al fresco menu, The March Hare’s weekend £2 oyster happy hour, £45 cocktail masterclasses at the same address, a summer collaboration between The Cadogan Arms and The Lost Explorer, Ixchel’s £28 weekday Mexican lunch with an August-only raw Porthilly oyster upgrade, plus Sticks’n’Sushi, Rabbit and more.
Be first to the best tables. New offers land every week throughout August. The full lineup, offer detail and booking is at plated.london. Consider your August dinner plans sorted.
