Climb aboard the Jolly Roger and play pirates with Captain Hook while chef Nico Simeone and his team sprinkle ‘pixie dust’ across their kitchen to create a magical wonderland of tantalising savoury and sweet treats.
Neverland’s six-course tasting menu highlights the timeless classic novel’s magical wonders, prepared with the most unusual ingredients and flavours, including USE YOUR IMAGINATION – Pepperoni Pizza; THE LOST BOYS – Ham Hough & Cheese ‘Toastie’, Celeriac Remoulade, Black Garlic Emulsion & Golden Raisin; CAPTAIN CODFISH – Shellfish Risotto, Smoked Cod Botarga; BANGARANG! – Black Pollock, Bang Bang Sauce, Charred Cucumber, Satay Emulsion, Pak Choi; FOOD FIGHT – Confit Chicken Ballotine, Piperade, Red Pepper Romesco, Saffron Emulsion & Tarragon Salsa Verde.
