Michelin-starred Basque chef heads to Kent for pop-up event
Sabor chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho heads to Updown in Deal
Updown Farmhouse (@updownfarmhouse) has announced that it will be hosting a Guest Chef Dinner Event with multi-Michelin star winner Nieves Barragán Mohacho on Saturday 22nd of April 2023 from 19:00pm.
The 17th century farmhouse located just outside of Deal, Updown has quickly become renowned for its food under the guidance of Ruth Leigh and Oliver Brown since its opening last year.
Over the last few years, the couple have been carefully restoring the farmhouse and grounds to house seven rooms including two cottages. Whilst works have been taking place, Ruth and Oli used the space to host a successful series of supper clubs, inviting some of the UK’s best chefs such as Anna Tobias, Will Bowlby, Rowley Leigh and Alex Jackson to cook one-off long table dinners. The success of these further cemented the couple’s dream to make Updown a permanent fixture and a home to share their seasonal menus and welcoming hospitality.
Now, this highly anticipated event offers the opportunity to showcase Chef Nieves’ talent and incredible skills in the terrace restaurant.
Nieves grew up in Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque region of Spain where she developed a passion for the local regions produce and cuisine. Her menu at Updown will consist of innovative dishes involving Spanish classics such as Octopus, mojo rojo with baby potatoes, and Lamb churrasco with a baby gem salad. She moved to London in 1998 and worked to become the Executive Chef of Barrafina where she held the role for 10 years - and in 2014 was awarded a Michelin Star. In 2018 she was awarded a Michelin Star for her own restaurant Sabor.
