new venture
The restaurant will occupy a remarkable site with a 24-seat dining room illuminated by antique skylights, a private dining room complete with its own outdoor terrace, and a fully fledged cocktail bar. The intimate setting will allow Victor and his team to deliver an ingredient-led menu with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing seasonal and globally sourced produce in its purest form.
Half of the capital needed to create Materia Prima is being self-funded by Garvey and his team, while the remainder will come from supporters. The target of the Kickstarter is £130,000.
The investment will enable the restaurant to be fitted with the mechanical and electrical infrastructure, specialist kitchen equipment, furniture, and final finishes worthy of its concept, as well as providing essential operating capital for its opening months.
Victor said: “No gimmicks. No dogma. No boundaries. Just a relentless pursuit of the top of the top - whether that’s spiny lobster from Brittany, uni from the Faroe Islands, or the finest vegetables grown anywhere on Earth.
“This is more than a restaurant. It’s a new way of thinking about food - and we want people to be part of it from the very beginning. Let’s build something extraordinary together.”
Supporters will be rewarded with unique experiences, ranging from exclusive lunches and dinners to private events and even whole-restaurant takeovers.
