On 5th and 6thFebruary, we’ll be welcoming the incredibly talented Mary San Pablo from @lutolondon to the Hackney Road store to cook up a Filipino storm! Mary is the chef behind LUTO (Tagalog for “to cook”), currently a roaming pop-up working towards a bricks and mortar home dedicated to sharing the bold, soulful flavours of her Filipino heritage.

Previously of Quo Vadis, Som Saa and Quality Chop House, Mary brings over a decade of experience to the table, reimagining the dishes of the Philippines’ thousands of islands with seasonal British ingredients and a balance of nostalgia and innovation.

Her cooking celebrates the deep umami and versatility of Filipino cuisine, translating beloved classics through a modern lens — a vibrant, personal journey from Bicol to London and beyond. 

There will be 2 sittings each night (19:00 and 21:00) with limited availability, so book in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. The evening will run as a set menu (vegan option available) from the LUTO team, with a specially curated wine list from yours truly, focussing on the wines of Sextant: a perfect match for Mary’s bold and expressive flavours!

Please note that menu may be subject to change due to seasonality and ingredient availability

Due to the nature of this event, no substitutions for courses will be available on the night so please let us know when booking of any food allergies or dietary needs you or your party have.
