Parlour and Six Portland Road’s Chef-Owner, Jesse Dunford Wood, has announced that he will open his new restaurant Harvest in early 2023.

The chef-owner announced Harvest will open on Chamberlayne Road in Kensal Rise, offering diners a bright, light, all day restaurant.

Harvest is set to serve coffee & breakfast from the early morning, through to daily brunch, lunch, and dinner.

The restaurant will feature a range of colourful, seasonal, British led menus that are expected to evolve throughout the day.

The menus will change regularly placing a focus on contemporary vegetarian dishes which will complement the British coastal fish, and direct-from-farm meat, with Jesse having built these wonderful supplier relationships over the last 20 years of running professional kitchens in the UK.

The drinks offering will be wine led with refined cocktails and a strong non-alcoholic offering.

Welcome to the family

Harvest will offer forty seats inside, as well as a secret heated covered garden in the back for thirty, and a front terrace.

The team are hoping for restaurant to be an important part of the local community, as well as being special enough for destination dining.

Interiors will be led by Ben Masterton-Smith from Transit Studio with a focus on natural colours, lots of wood, aiming for a lived in and comfortable atmosphere. This will be alongside Hugh Dunford Wood, Jesse’s father, wrought iron wall art.

Jesse looks forward to welcoming you to Harvest, joining to his restaurant family alongside Parlour, which has remarkably just celebrated its 10th year, and Six Portland Road which has now been open for 2 years.
