Darby's Owner & Chef
Robin Gill brings a signature approach built around direct relationships with farmers and a larder built from the ground up through fermentation, curing and pickling. Dublin-born, he trained at Le Manoir, Don Alfonso 1890 and Noma before opening the Dairy in Clapham, the restaurant that established him as a leading voice in London's produce-led dining. Today he is chef and owner of Darby's, his Irish-inflected restaurant, bar and bakery in Embassy Gardens.
Good food, good music, good company, the way Robin Gill's father loved it.
Darby's is Robin Gill's Irish-inflected restaurant, bar and bakery in London's Embassy Gardens, named after his jazz-musician father, Earl "Darby" Gill. The kitchen works closely with farms, butchering and ageing meat in-house and cooking large cuts over fire, while the bakery turns out sourdough from British heritage grains. With an oyster bar, live music and a generous, sharing-led menu, Darby's brings together the things Gill's father loved most: good food, good music, and good company.
Roaming Free Since 874
For over 1,100 years, Icelandic Lamb has been defined by a tradition of freedom, with sheep roaming the wild, pristine pastures of the highlands to graze on berries and sub-arctic herbs. The Icelandic Lamb marketing project is a collective of family-owned farms dedicated to safeguarding this unique Viking-age breed and its unrivaled, natural quality. By sponsoring this event, they continue their mission to share the authentic taste and sustainable heritage of Iceland with the world.
