A collaboration with Joké Bakare and the Chishuru Team

chishuru

  • To evaluate and enhance Chishuru’s existing cocktail programme, aligning the drinks menu seamlessly with their vibrant, Michelin-starred West African dishes. The aim was to preserve the essence and identity of their original drinks while balancing flavours to match and complement the restaurant’s innovative and truly unique cooking style.

  • We meticulously analysed the flavour profile, structure and texture across Joké and Matt’s drinks, subtly adjusting the balance of each alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink to highlight distinctive West African ingredients such as okra, aridan, and uda peppers.

  • The result was a sophisticated drinks menu that embodies Chishuru’s unique charisma. Each cocktail now thoughtfully complements the menu, enhancing the overall dining experience with authenticity and bold presence.

The Standard, London

A continuous, evolving partnership

  • After the success of developing the concept for Sweeties, the cocktail bar on the 10th floor of The Standard, we were asked to take on the role of drinks consultant for the full hotel – a role we continue to deliver to this day. Our unique approach to telling stories through flavour is instrumental in shaping the seasonal menu concepts, collaborative menus, training, mentoring and ongoing quality control check-ups across all departments of the hotel.

  • For each restaurant and bar, we create a distinct alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktail menu, which changes twice a year. Each drink is tailored to the energy and atmosphere of the beautiful spaces The Standard has created, and we work closely with the chefs to align with their food concepts. As with everything we do, the guest’s needs and desires are central as they pass through the space.

    At Sweeties, a playful and conceptual menu. At Decimo, drinks that translate the bold flavours of Peter Sanchez’s Spanish-Mexican cooking. At The Rooftop, evolved classics to watch a beautiful sunset. At Double Standard, American classics with a British twist. Meanwhile, ever-changing guest chef experiences see experimentation and adaptability in Isla.

  • An ever-evolving set of thoughtful drinks menus, delivered to a high standard by the on-site team in a high-volume operation. Each drink encompasses depth, structure, and balance – resulting in experiences that guests treasure and come back for.
