Whitelock’s Dinner Club #12
Celebrating Yorkshire provenance, our local suppliers, and classic British pub food.
Greg Lewis – “I’ve lived and worked in Leeds for almost 2 decades now and one of my favourite places for a pint of Old Peculier or a bite to eat has always been Whitelock’s. It’s a real Leeds icon and it’s a real privilege to spend some time in the kitchen paying homage to the great cooks who have been there before me.
I have known Nick for well over 10 years and it’s been great to see him grow into the fantastic chef he has become. He’s a smart operator and a genuinely nice bloke and I can’t wait to spend a few days with him and his team cooking some proper British food in a proper British pub. Much like Whitelock’s, Sykes House Farm is a Leeds institution so I’m very lucky to part of such a unique coming together of these two great companies.”
Nick Robertson – “for our first collaborative dinner club I’m pleased to be showcasing our Yorkshire meat supplier Sykes House Farm’s produce and their incredibly talented development chef’s skills. Greg was the chef I worked my first day of my first fulltime chef job at The New Ellington hotel, it’s been over a decade since we shared a kitchen so this is a huge honour for me to be hosting someone who helped shaped the chef I am today. This menu celebrates classic British pub food in Leeds’ finest example of a classic British pub and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this evening”
