Literary Dinner with Alex Preston in Kensal Green

Break bread with award-winning writer and journalist Alex Preston, as Literary Dinners embarks on a unique evening of feasting and fiction at the evocative Dissenters’ Chapel in Kensal Green Cemetery.

With miraculous nerve, Alex Preston’s new novel The Revelations lays bare a world where the success of a religious cult becomes more important than the lives of its followers. In celebration of the novel’s proselytising prose, pop-up restaurateurs The Two Nightingales have planned a three-course gourmet equivalent to the Last Supper and maître d’fiction Charles Haynes will guide the evening's Sermon on the Mount.

Last Supper

Aromatic roast pumpkin and coconut soup to start, with plenty of rosemary and red onion bread to tear-and-share as true literary disciples.

Baked mustard and apricot chicken breasts, accompanied by bowlfuls of new potatoes with pan-fried chorizo; warm broad and green bean salad; and, sweet peppers and grilled courgette quinoa peppered with toasted pumpkin seeds.

Culminating with rich and indulgent individual brioche and butter puddings to finish.

Ticket price includes full menu and complimentary wines, as well as a copy of The Revelations signed by the author.
