Dan sprouts up in Birmingham<br />

DAN DOHERTY, HEAD CHEF OF ACCLAIMED LONDON RESTAURANT DUCK & WAFFLE CHATS TO AMY<br />

NORBURY ABOUT HIS EXCLUSIVE POP-UP WHICH IS COMING TO HARVEY NICHOLS BIRMINGHAM THIS MONTH<br />

Celebrated chef and author Dan Doherty will be<br />

making his way to Harvey Nichols Birmingham in<br />

<strong>March</strong> as part of a series of pop-up supper clubs across<br />

the UK.<br />

The collaboration will see Dan take his unique supper<br />

club, Sprout, to Harvey Nichols stores nationwide;<br />

starting in Leeds, followed by Manchester, Bristol<br />

and rounding off the tour in at Harvey Nichols<br />

Birmingham on Friday, <strong>March</strong> 23.<br />

Sprout is a special dining experience that makes heroes<br />

of seasonal ingredients, reflected in both the menu and<br />

the space. Each venue will be decorated with greenery<br />

and ceramics for one night only to bring the elements<br />

of the menu to life.<br />

The exclusive menu will consist of a complimentary<br />

cocktail made with Silent Pool gin on arrival, followed<br />

by playful sharing plates to start; slow cooked lamb<br />

shoulder with hot hummus, fried chickpeas and pine<br />

nuts, served with purple sprouting broccoli for the<br />

main – inspired by some of Dan’s favourite flavours<br />

and European cuisines; and a delicious pistachio<br />

and orange cake with rose Chantilly and drizzled<br />

with orange blossom honey to finish. To top it all<br />

off, Doherty will be making homemade hobnobs, his<br />

all-time favourite biscuits, for guests to take away with<br />

them and enjoy at home.<br />

Born and raised in Shrewsbury, Dan started his<br />

career at The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts as an<br />

apprentice with London’s Michelin-starred 1 Lombard<br />

Street under the rigorous leadership of mentor<br />

Herbert Berger.<br />
