The Hoxton announces Hot Plates guest chef series

This spring, The Hoxton will partner with gin brand Gin Mare to present Hot Plates – a kitchen takeover series dedicated to celebrating some of London’s most exciting up-and-coming gastronomic talent.

The Hoxton will present the three-week dinner series at its Southwark lobby restaurant Albie. A rotation of chefs will take to the pass throughout March and April, their meals accompanied by an exclusive range of premium gin-based cocktails.
