"I grew up in rural Norfolk, the daughter of a small-town doctor. My mother hated cooking, so once a month we would escape en famille, parents and three children, to try somewhere new for Sunday lunch or return to an old favourite. Rabbit restaurant, I'm sure, would quickly have made that list. It has the warmth of a favourite sweater and the comfort of a fireside chair, set rather charmingly in the midst of bougie Chelsea."
"Inside, Rabbit restaurant is something of a warren, a maze of small, lively rooms packed to the brim on a Sunday. The atmosphere is buoyant and generous. Everyone seems to know they will be well fed and well looked after by the time they leave. It is a place that encourages you to settle in, enjoy your plate and, more importantly, savour the company you are with."
"Do start with an aperitif. We chose a glass of Nutty Wild from the Nutbourne Vineyards run by the Gladwin Brothers' parents. The Sunday lunch menu always features a Rabbit cocktail and a suggested wine. We enjoyed our fizz and were equally pleased with the Sussex Reserve, Nutbourne Vineyards 2023, a crisp, dry white that carried me happily through the meal."
Rabbit restaurant on the King's Road in Chelsea is a quirky bistro in the Gladwin Brothers' Local and Wild group that captures the comforts of a proper Sunday lunch. The interior is a warren of small lively rooms that fill up on Sundays, creating a buoyant, generous atmosphere that invites diners to settle, enjoy food, and savour company. The menu emphasizes a classic Sunday roast accompanied by a Rabbit cocktail and suggested wines. The Nutty Wild aperitif and the Sussex Reserve, Nutbourne Vineyards 2023, are singled out for pairing well with the meal. The bistro feels homely yet stylish, suited to families and regulars.
