Kebabs under construction: Le Bab launches Development Sunday Sessions

Try experimental kebabs at half the price — and decide whether they stick around or get skewered 
Does this dish have a contender? A paneer kebab at Le Bab
Ben Norum9 June 2016

Kingly Court kebab spot Le Bab has been doling out varying interpretations of the humble charcoal-grilled classic since it launched early this year. Now the team are throwing open the doors to the development kitchen.

In a unique move, the restaurant will be serving diners experimental dishes which haven’t been widely tried or tasted — and charging 50% of the price as an incentive.

The sessions will run bi-monthly on a Sunday, and will offer completely different dishes each time. After eating, diners will be asked for their feedback and this will influence whether or not the kebabs they are served make it onto the restaurant’s main menu.

Stephen Tozer, one half of the Le Bab team, explained: “The restaurant is a project, and it’s about constant gastronomic innovation and improvement. It’s so important to get outside perspective, because ours is a bit blurred by constant interaction with our food.”

His business partner Ed Brunet added: “There have been a few items which we have put on the menu in the past which we thought were great, but which didn’t go down so well with the public. When you have a small menu like we do, that’s really not ideal.

“These Sunday Sessions are a great way for us to do more product testing — what better way of trialling something than by putting it in front of the public?”

The first Development Sunday Session will take place on July 3, from 12-7pm.
