To add the biggest touch of class, celebrity fave, Rock Star Sushi Bar provided an array of delicious, authentic Japanese sushi – the best uramaki sushi I have ever tasted (spicy tuna with cucumber, black tobiko and wasabi tobiko) being one of my favourites. Succulent lobster and avocado (yuzu tobiko), simply irresistible! Chef Igor delivered sheer perfection on the night. He has 15 years of experience and is based in the Merton Abbey Mills complex. Only advanced bookings are accepted as the freshest seasonal fish, vegetables, duck and octopus are specially ordered in for the night.
The wine flowed with Hannibal Brown providing us with a tasting of various unusual, specialist wines and if wines weren’t our thing, Mark Gordon, Founder of Wimbledon Brewery honoured us with his own home-grown beers, as featured in Vogue and Country & Townhouse magazines, Great British Brands of 2016 & 2017.
