Menu #410 | Thank You & Good Night

Each Monday morning - or Tuesday if the weekend has got the better of us - for the past nine years, we’ve sat down to write our weekly email detailing the coming week’s menu.

This week marks the penultimate time we do that. Pidgin will take its final flight on Sunday 18th August and we will bid you all a very fond and grateful farewell. There are inevitably too many people to thank, too many highlights to mention, too many dishes to recall, so for now we will say a huge thank you to the current team, who have made Pidgin as good as it’s ever been, and to you, for all of your support over the years.

Many people dream of opening a restaurant. Not many dream of closing one. So while we’re sad to put a full-stop on this chapter, we are excited and reassured that two brilliant people will be realising their own dream: 52 Wilton Way will be left in the enormously talented, creative, and fun hands of current head chef Drew Snaith, and ex-Pidgin manager Hannah Kowalski, who will wave a magic wand and transform the restaurant into a new incarnation, Sesta. We’ll see you there.

In the meantime, you have two weeks, or 14 services, to hotfoot it to Pidgin for dinner at, as far as we know, the only restaurant in the world that changes its menu every week and never repeats a dish.

With love and thanks and endless gratitude,

James and Sam x
