Michelin-starred Chef’s Choice Fire Dining Menu at Humo

At Humo London, the Chef’s Choice tasting menu unfolds as a journey guided by fire—its rhythm, its power, and its quiet elegance. The experience begins with a series of delicate, ignite-led expressions: pristine, sashimi-inspired fish prepared with Japanese precision, kissed only lightly by smoke. These opening moments are clean and restrained, allowing the purity of seasonal British seafood to shine while subtle aromas from carefully selected woods drift across the table, setting the tone for what is to come.

As the menu progresses, the flames grow bolder. Vegetables from trusted British growers emerge from the grill transformed in the smoke section—charred yet vibrant, their natural sweetness deepened by embers of oak, apple, or cherry wood. Flame-grilled scallops and langoustines follow, their shells crackling over open fire, flesh sweet and succulent, carrying a gentle smokiness that speaks to Chef Robbie Jameson’s lifelong connection to fire cooking and the influence of Japanese restraint.

The heart of the experience lies in the embers: meat and fish cooked slowly and precisely over glowing coals, without electricity or gas, relying solely on the character of the wood and the instinct of the chefs. Here, fire becomes both tool and storyteller—imparting depth, texture, and complexity while respecting the integrity of each ingredient. A curated selection of wines, sakes, cocktails, and non-alcoholic pairings is offered alongside the menu, designed to echo the nuances of smoke, fire, and seasonality without overpowering the food.

The tasting concludes with a sense of warmth and memory rather than excess—an echo of the flames that have guided the meal from start to finish. Thoughtfully chosen beverages continue through the final moments, rounding out the experience with balance and harmony. At HUMO, casual elegance is not just a philosophy but a feeling: an immersive, sensory journey where fire, craftsmanship, and hospitality come together to create moments that linger long after the embers fade.
