Celebrating Black History Month in our restaurants

Posted 5 days ago

Check out our daily specials!

This October, we're celebrating Black History Month by bringing you dishes inspired by Afro-Caribbean heritage. Each week, our outlets will feature special menus that showcase the flavours, ingredients, and traditions of Black culinary history.

Most of these dishes have been created by our chefs, drawing inspiration from their own cultures and traditions – so every plate comes with a story.

We’ll be rotating dishes across our outlets, so there’s something new to discover every day – from rich stews to fragrant curries and fiery grills. Whether you’re looking for comforting plant-based options or bold, spice-packed meals, there’ll be something for everyone. 

What's on the menu this week?

The Special of the Day from 20 - 25 October:

  • Monday at Shaw Café: Butterbean, sweet and okra stew
  • Tuesday at Fourth Floor Restaurant: Jerk chicken, Ethiopian red lentil stew & jollof rice
  • Wednesday at Staff Dining Room: Gumbo with spicy braised rice, chicken, sausage, prawns & bell peppers
  • Thursday at Coopers Restaurant: Daily specials
