QW & Friends

This May, Nick and the team launch “Quality Wines & Friends” – a new monthly Sunday series inviting friends of the restaurant into the kitchen for a collaborative one-day menu, on a day the space is usually shuttered. The series, in partnership with OpenTable, will run across summer and into autumn, with six standout chefs – each bringing their own voice to the Quality Wines menu. 

Once a month, diners are invited to an all-afternoon affair, beginning at 12pm, featuring a menu of six to eight dishes, shaped by the shared sensibilities of the chef and Nick, all within the Quality Wines ethos. Expect a few larger plates to share or opt for the full menu as a couple – accompanied by a selection of special wines that complement the food.
