This November, Jiāonest celebrates its first birthday with a taste you won’t find anywhere else. Over two exclusive supper club evenings, the restaurant turns its Chongqing roots towards its East London home, reimagining regional classics with ingredients from Kingsland’s markets and butchers, and fiery wok stir-fries not usually on its menu. One year in, this is Jiāonest at its boldest: a one-off menu, made for these nights only.

Guests can expect a tingle of the unfamiliar: Chongqing classics with a London twist, something new to discover with every course, and thoughtfully paired drinks. Throughout the evening, Chef Hera Yang will share the stories and inspiration behind each dish, from Kingsland market finds to the Chongqing flavours that shaped them. Come hungry, come curious, and expect a night of great food, good drinks and plenty of sharing.

Dishes include the Smoked Butcher’s Platter, braised and smoked, with cuts from Kingsland Road butchers; Squid Ceviche cured in aged Chongqing pickle; and Fire-Wok Crab, glass noodles stir-fried fast and fierce. The Jiāonest favourite Duck Duck Rice Toast also joins the table.

To finish, a Jasmine Tea Basque Cheesecake: burnt on top, creamy inside, infused with jasmine.

The supper clubs will take place on 20th and 21st November from 7pm priced at £60pp.
