Gyros
With Gyros The Original, the team behind Souvlaki The Original is turning its attention to another Greek street food classic. Unlike souvlaki, which is served on skewers, gyros is sliced off a spit. Here, it’s available in customisable bowls featuring pork or chicken gyros, as well as a vegan option, served with rice, potatoes or chips and homemade sauces.

Original spirit
Public House is changing direction. The restaurant is moving away from its five-course tasting menu to return to the brasserie-bistro ethos that guided the project from the outset: seasonal cuisine, centred on regional produce. Head chef Anne Knepper remains at the helm, now with a broader menu. On the menu: marrow toast with chimichurri as a starter, or homemade sausage and mash as a main course.

Plant stars
In 2026, the ‘We’re Smart World’ plant guide highlights two iconic products: peas and dates. Rich in plant-based protein, fibre and vitamins, peas are establishing themselves as a nutritional powerhouse whilst promoting more sustainable farming practices thanks to their ability to enrich the soil with nitrogen. Dates, naturally sweet and rich in minerals, are a valuable source of energy and support farming practices suited to arid climates.
