Sommelier-Selected Hidden Gem Wines and Tasting Menu at Town

At Town on Drury Lane, Stevie Parle’s latest opening hums with the kind of energy that immediately sets the tone for an evening shaped by confidence, craft, and curiosity. The room itself feels theatrical yet relaxed: a glossy, caramel-toned space with a vivid, neon-green open kitchen at its heart, framed by sculptural ceramic pillars and a retro-futurist ceiling that glows as the night unfolds. 

The culinary journey is built around a chef’s choice menu that reflects Parle’s ingredient-first philosophy and his close relationships with British growers. The cooking is seasonal, assured, and quietly bold. Sustainability is not announced so much as embedded, and even the cheese course carries a personal signature, sourced from Parle’s own family producers in Ireland.

Woven seamlessly through the meal is a sommelier-led wine pairing that champions hidden gems rather than headline labels. Each glass is selected to reveal something unexpected: small producers, overlooked regions, and expressive bottles chosen for their character and their ability to elevate the food. The sommelier guides guests through the pairing, explaining why a particular wine was chosen and how its texture, acidity, or subtle aromatics mirror the dish in front of you. 

Town is a place to settle into, where the glam-inflected brutalist design, the pulse of the open kitchen, and the thoughtful flow of food and wine combine into a single, cohesive experience.
