PLAY
A conceptual dining Supperclub by Sid Sahrawat x Rose's Dining Table
Presented by Campari
This October, we're giving you permission to PLAY.
For two nights only, Rose's Dining Table and Sid Sahrawat are transforming The French Kitchen into an immersive playground of food, creativity and connection.
Your evening begins in the Campari Courtyard, where conceptual dining installations, live cooking and playful bites invite you to explore nostalgia and fun.
From there, you'll step into The French Café's private dining room for an intimate Supperclub unlike anything we've created before - in true RDT fashion, this will be communal Supperclub dining at one table. Come prepared to pass a plate and meet new faces.
Bringing together Rose's signature way of gathering around the table with Sid's world-class cuisine, PLAY is designed to surprise, spark conversation and remind you that you're never too old to play.
Together, Rose and Sid will cook throughout the evening, serving a creative menu inspired by nostalgia and the joy of play. Expect playful individual bites, generous sharing plates and an iconic dessert, with familiar flavours reimagined.
