THE EXPERIENCE

A new way to Sunday

Each edition of The Gathering Table welcomes a guest chef offering a fresh perspective and a menu you won't find again.

Sundays, upstairs, many plates. All served to share

A three-course tasting menu, thoughtfully composed and served across the table - abundant, elegant, and designed for sharing. Expect bold flavours, seasonal produce, and dishes that invite conversation as much as they satisfy.

Hosted by co-owners Timothy Skinner and Benjamin Shaw, whose attentive presence ensures every detail is delivered with polish, charm, and impeccable service.

Where strangers become friends.

Sunday Dining, Elevated

A New Chef Each Month

We invite some of the most exciting culinary talent around to take over our kitchen and craft something exclusive - inspired by the season and their own signature flair.

Seasonal & Soulful

Menus change every month, led by what's best right now. Expect bold flavours, beautiful plates, and cooking that genuinely reflects the time of year.

A Warm Welcome awaits...

You'll be greeted with a cocktail or mocktail the moment you arrive. A room full of friends you are yet to meet.

A full bar - wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks available to purchase - runs throughout the lunch

Introducing

Marianna Leivaditaki

Marianna grew up on Crete; daughter of a fisherman and a restaurateur before moving to the UK to study Psychology. She later followed her passion for food, becoming head chef at Moro and helping launch Morito on Hackney Road, developing a style that marries Cretan tradition with Eastern Mediterranean influences.

Marianna works across private catering, menu consultancy, recipe development, food writing, and TV, radio and documentary projects, with a second book underway and culinary retreats in Crete launching next September.Her cookbook, Aegean, is a love letter to Crete a rich, personal portrait of island life and cuisine.

"Good food is about sharing - plates in the middle of the table, loud voices, laughter. I cook to be felt, not just seen. Because the meals we remember are rarely the quiet ones - they're the ones where the table is full of food, and of people."

WHO WE ARE

The People Behind The Table

The Gathering Table was born from a simple belief: that the best occasions happen when great food is shared in good company. We wanted to bring the elegance of a fine-dining supper club to the warm, unpretentious setting of a proper British pub.
