The restaurant, based in St James in London, has launched The Kent Edit, a two month-long celebration of the Garden of England, spotlighting some of Kent’s most exciting growers, producers and artisans across a dedicated à la carte menu.
Executive Chef Shadi Issawy has confirmed that Claro in St James’s will celebrate the best Kent’s most exciting growers, producers and artisans across a dedicated à la carte menu throughout July and August.
A series of dishes are now available featuring produce from Canterbury Cheese Makers, Morghew Park Estate, Wilsons Provisions, Mockbeggar Farm and Foxes Honey.
Highlights include lamb kebabs with Kentish apricots, potato confit with heritage Kent potatoes and Bowyers Brie, and Cherries & Mahlab made with fresh fruit from Mockbeggar Farm.
This specially created menu will celebrate the best of what Kent has to offer, featuring dishes celebrating fruit growers, vineyards, farmers and artisan producers from the county. The Kent Edit shines a spotlight on their exceptional harvest through Claro’s signature produce-led Mediterranean cooking.
Executive Chef Shadi Issawy said: “The Kent Edit is a celebration of place, seasonality and the incredible people behind the ingredients. Kent has an extraordinary depth of producers, from coastal growers to small-scale artisans, and working with them has shaped a menu that feels rooted and alive. A key part of our journey into the county’s food scene began with Macknade Food Hall, which introduced us to many of the growers and makers who now sit at the heart of this menu. Our aim was to let the produce speak first, and to bring out its character through simple, precise cooking that reflects both Kent’s agricultural richness and Claro’s Mediterranean approach.”
