Soho restaurant Berenjak coming to Bicester Village

Berenjak, renowned for its open-fire cooking and consistently booked-out tables, will host a special supper club at Cecconi’s in Bicester Village.

A supper club will take place on Wednesday, July 31, and will be led by Berenjak’s international brand chef Shwan Baban.

The event forms part of Bicester Village’s Dish & Tell Tastemakers series.

A spokesman for Bicester Village said: “Berenjak, the cult Soho restaurant known for its open-fire Persian cooking and near-impossible reservations, will take over Cecconi’s at Bicester Village for a one-night-only supper club.”

Chef Baban has crafted a family-style menu featuring some of Berenjak’s standout dishes, including lamb machboos and charcoal-cooked kashk e bademjoon.

The spokesman added: “For the evening, Baban has curated a generous, family-style menu centred on Berenjak’s signature dishes, including his much-loved lamb machboos and charcoal-cooked kashk e bademjoon.”

The lamb machboos, inspired by Baban’s Kurdish-Iraqi background, will remain on Cecconi’s menu for four weeks after the event.

The supper club is priced at £70 per person and includes the full supper club menu and two complimentary drinks.

Guests will dine together in a communal setting, with Chef Baban in attendance to share the stories and inspiration behind each dish.

Founded in London in 2018 by chef Kian Samyani, Berenjak now operates ten restaurants across seven cities and three continents.

Its original Soho location has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2019.
