An evening with Great British Menu Star Shane Zhao
On 18th August, join us at CrowdedHouse in Leeds to welcome Great British Menu star Shane Zhao into the kitchen, alongside head chef Simon Jewitt for an exclusive night of dining – for a limited number of guests.
Shane started her culinary journey in Australia in 2009. Since then, she has worked at some of the most renowned establishments in Yorkshire, including renowned luxury hotel Grantley Hall and iconic Leeds restaurants Tattu and Issho.
Currently, at Wetherby’s Wood Hall Hotel & Spa, Shane is crafting dishes that skillfully blend Yorkshire’s seasonal produce with Asian flavours as seen on BBC’s Great British Menu.
CrowdedHouse is the ideal location for this collaboration, situated above Leeds’ skyline. Together with Shane, AA Rosette award winner Simon Jewitt, who leads the kitchen, has created a beautiful menu inspired by seasonal produce.
