Tim Makes Paris Vogue

TIM MAKES PARIS VOGUE
Following on the back of the very successful ‘Experimental Cocktail Group’ the owners are expanding into a restaurant specialising in fantastic steaks which they are buying from The Ginger Pig. This ties in really well with our weekly trip to France during which we buy veal from Limousin and stunning French poultry.

The new restaurant is taking ribs of beef and maturing them in their own maturation fridges and famous french butcher Yves Marie Le Bourdonnec is preparing them for the table.
