Hithe + Seek Announces Collaboration with Hannah Crosbie

The partnership will begin with an intimate supper club on Wednesday 7 February & pairing menu available throughout the month of love  

Located within The Westin London City Hotel, Hithe + Seek, is pleased to announce an exclusive partnership this February, with wine expert and Dalston Wine Club Founder, Hannah Crosbie. 

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Head Chef, Fabio De Paolis, has collaborated with wine connoisseur Hannah Crosbie, to create a unique and very special six-course wine-pairing menu that combines elegance and taste, and aphrodisiac-imbued dishes. 

Food being the modern-day love language, Hannah and Fabio have worked collaboratively to curate a menu that is the epitome of romance, with playful takes on the dish's names such as “The Booty Call” and “The My-Type-on-Paper.”

Ingredients like scallops and Chilli mango mousse with a dark chocolate sphere are sure to get hearts racing. Guests can expect meticulous attention to detail with contemporary dishes which have been created to complement the experience and surroundings flawlessly. 

Hithe + Seek provides the perfect intimate and immersive setting, with picturesque views overlooking the River Thames. With Fabio de Paolis’ knowledge of ingredients, combined with Hannah Crosbie’s open-minded and exceptional taste in wine, the pair will host a ticketed supper club on Wednesday 7 February to celebrate the launch of the exclusive six-course menu.  

The six-course tasting menu is priced at £99 per person, which includes a cocktail, six plates with five matching wines and one dessert wine. The menu will run alongside Hithe + Seek’s usual menu from the 8 February – 2 March.  

Hannah Crosbie comments “It’s been such a joy to work with Hithe + Seek on this wine pairing menu. They’ve given me the green light to go ahead with some really exciting, alternative pairings, which I can’t wait to pour for guests at the launch”.  Menu highlights include: 

‘The Catfish’ - Torched king oyster scallops, oyster leaf, parsnip purée  with Taittinger, ‘Nocturne Sec’ 

‘The Anniversary’ - Sea bass carpaccio, compressed tomato, basil crumble, Champagne granita with Balfour, ‘Skye’s Chardonnay’ 

‘The My-Type-On-Paper’ - Langoustine & smoked cheese risotto, citrus bisque foam with Vavasour, Pinot Gris 

‘The Situationship’ - Pork tenderloin, cardamom sweet potato mash, blueberry jus, chicharron with M. Chapoutier, Gigondas 

‘The Booty Call’ - Lamb shish, mint tzatziki, padron pepper  with COS, Frappato 

‘The Ex’ - Chilli mango mousse, dark chocolate sphere, edible rose petals with Ruffino, ‘Serelle Vin Santo del Chianti’ 

Cocktails specially created by Hannah Crosbie will complement the menu, the “Dalston Clover Club”, which pays tribute to Crosbie’s first love, her Dalston Wine Club, as she continues her mission to make the bottle brigade more inclusive. The “Virgin Club” will also be available for those looking for a more frigid non-alcoholic option alongside Hithe + Seek’s extensive list.
