Set for early November, Quill will be Fables & Company’s largest location to date with space for 75 guests.
The interior will emulate ‘an eccentric wine cellar, filled with artworks, exquisite wines and objects from inspiring globetrotting adventures’ whilst the exterior is billed as an ode to an English garden.
Overseen by founder Andrew Gray, the wine programme at Quill will build on the two wine lists at Plume and Finch steering them ‘in a more exotic direction’.
A greater focus on fine wines at reduced margins will define Quill, with customers 'able to access prestige wines at a reduced cost’.
A continued emphasis on English wines remains, with an expanded focus on still wines.
The core mission continues to be on exploring lesser-tasted wines and twists on known varieties, with ‘accidental education’ being the driving force.
Created by Fables & Company’s ‘culinary innovator’ Rob Wade whose CV includes Chez Bruce and Soho House Group, the menu will offer ‘the best of British cuisine’.
Dishes will include sea bass on a bed of leeks and white miso beans; a duck confit burger; and boar hot dog with bacon jam and pickles.
“Quill embodies the same spirit as our sister bars, advancing our experience from Plume and Finch,” Gray says.
“The tradition of storytelling is central to our identity, and being near Shakespeare’s Globe has motivated us to weave even more immersive experiences into our creative product. This is a really exciting site, with oddities in wine and intensely flavoured food, but most importantly it will be fun.”
