It’s a dinner unlike any from the Sitwell Supper Club. It’s on Friday October 23 2026 and it’s an elaborate feast of Chinese food, a modern, contemporary six-course tasting menu featuring the likes of wagyu beef dumplings, Shanghai black cod, beef fillet and a dessert of eastern wonder!
The dinner is by Tattu, considered the finest Pan Asian destination restaurant in London and with branches in the cities of, among others, Manchester and Dubai. Led by Global Executive Chef Eugene Papadimitriou and Chef de Cuisine David Pang, Tattu showcases a unique fusion of Chinese and Japanese technique. And their latest branch, in Canary Wharf at 5 Water Street, due this winter, promises a stunning creation inspired by the historic floating restaurants of China.
Tattu was founded in 2015 in the Spinningfields area of Manchester with the founders, who now operate at the Permanently Unique group, aiming to deliver a dining experience of theatrical proportions. Their Dubai outpost, for example, is across three levels of the 74th floor of Ciel Dubai Marina. So it’s only fitting that Tattu comes down to earth with a dinner in William’s converted Somerset cowshed.
We’re also hugely excited that Tattu will be pairing the dinner with some of their prized sake.
As host William says: ‘This is a unique chance for the folk of West Somerset to taste the elegance and delectation of Tattu’s extraordinary dishes. And with an obsession for sake, I’m already giddy at the prospect.’
It’s a generous, multi course dinner featuring some classic ingredients and delivered with exceptional skill. For the passionate foodie, especially regulars of Sitwell Supper Club, it’s an occasion not to be missed!
Your host, as ever, is of course William Sitwell, one of Britain’s foremost food writers. Restaurant critic for The Telegraph, he has been a regular judge on the BBC hit show MasterChef for almost 20 years. His supper club, in his converted cow shed at Rooks Nest Farm near Wiveliscombe in West Somerset off Exmoor, is a firm favourite for lovers of great food, great wine and great times!
Diners will take their seats in the tent within the barn of the supper club, a place where friendships are made and great times are had.
