New dishes on offer include Korean bulgogi and honey glazed wings, Mexican black bean tacos and the star of the show, their dive bar double smash cheeseburger – two smashed patties, melted cheese, onions, pickles and burger sauce from the award-winning team led by chef Nick Watkins.
The Gate will also be matching dishes with drinks made with a sustainable twist. Working with Scottish drinks company William Grants, The Gate has created an Old Fashioned and Daiquiri menu for the duration that uses their newly launched Discarded – a sweet vermouth infused with cascara and a banana peel rum both with sustainability at their heart.
Alasdair Shaw, manager of The Gate said: “The UK’s best burger is heading East! We’ve been keeping this latest kitchen takeover secret for a while and the menu is worth the wait. ”
Nick Watkins, founder of El Perro Negro said: “Looking forward to getting back into the East End where it all began for El Perro. We’re keeping things simple but packing major flavours and can’t wait to sample those drinks pairings after service.”
The Smash & Grab takeover with El Perro Negro takes place at The Gate on Thursday 27th, Friday 28th, Saturday 29th February from 4pm until 10pm and from 12 noon until late on Sunday 29th February.
