Pivot, the debut London restaurant from award-winning Scottish chef Mark Greenaway, announces the launch of its at-home offering ‘Pivot by YOU’.
Pivot, which opened its doors in autumn 2021, is housed within 3 Henrietta Street, a five-storey townhouse in the heart of Covent Garden.
The restaurant has become known for its refined tasting menus, taking the concept of ‘seasonally-changing’ to new heights, with the menu entirely changing each month. For the first time, Mark will now be offering Pivot’s tasting menus for diners to cook at home, delivering ‘Pivot by YOU’ boxes nationwide.
Each month Greenaway and his team of chefs will offer a set menu to be cooked step-by-step at home, so diners can enjoy the full Pivot experience without even so much as leaving the house.
The boxes are filled with carefully-labelled boxes, with clear instructions as to how to prepare and cook the four course menu. Priced at £80, Pivot by YOU boxes generously serve two people and are perfect for a special occasion, or simply a weekend evening in.
Reflecting the seasonal focus of the restaurant, Greenaway uses ingredients from his network of local producers and farmers to create a playful yet refined at-home menu. The four-course menu begins with a mini brioche loaf, with whipped homemade butter and long pepper, giving diners a taste of what’s to come, just as in the Covent Garden restaurant.
The menu then moves on to an accomplished starter of smoked salmon, sauce gribiche, caviar and toast crisps before the main event of Greenaway’s tender 10-hour slow cooked truffled lamb shank with a choice of either dark chocolate lamb jus, peppercorn sauce, or tarragon and pink peppercorn butter.
Diners have the option to customise their meal kits, with a selection of expertly-prepared sides to choose to accompany the lamb shank, including stuffed tomato with flat mushroom and confit garlic; charred cabbage with chilli and hazelnut butter; potato dauphinoise or potato purée.
Naturally, Chef Mark’s boxes include a cheese course of truffled brie with sesame seed crackers and plum chutney before the meal is rounded off with a lemon curd tart with a poppyseed tuille. To top it off, each Pivot by YOU box includes fresh truffle from Mark’s treasured supplier, Wiltshire Truffles, adding a touch of luxury to an evening in.
Greenaway said, “Opening Pivot has been a dream, and since we launched I have loved serving my menus to our customers in our Covent Garden restaurant.
'With the launch of Pivot by YOU I’m really happy to be able to share a taste of the restaurant with people all over the UK, and I hope all our customers will enjoy tasting our food at home…without having to peel the potatoes.”
