Channel is Somerset House’s new curated online space for art, ideas and the artistic process.
Visitors in search of the finest, alpine-inspired, delicious food and festive tipples need look no further than Skate this season. Set away from the ice, nestled in Somerset House's West Wing, The Chalet, from pop-up legend Jimmy Garcia, brings the tastes of the Alps to Skate.
“Jimmy Garcia the pop-up king”
“You know what’s even tastier than cheese? Charcuterie dipped into a bowl of bubbly, boozy cheese at Jimmy’s Pop-up.”
A few years ago Jimmy hosted his very own ski chalet in the Alps where he served beautiful food to guests after their days on the slopes. Our winter pop-up at Somerset House embodies the same cosy, alpine hospitality - showcasing the best mountain cuisine but using the finest British ingredients including native cheeses and cured meats to enjoy pre or après Skate.
The cosy, chalet-themed restaurant invites visitors to indulge in a seasonal menu of winter favourites and warming drinks, serving the best in festive feasting.
“The hot cocktails! It’s worth a visit for one of these alone.”
“The ultimate must-do winter dining experience.”
Private dining rooms will also be available for those in search of the perfect setting for a festive get-together with friends, family or colleagues.
