Acclaimed chefs George Birtwell and Samira Effa, known as The Epicurean Duo, will host their debut consumer ticketed event in partnership with The Yorkshire Food Guide. This exclusive 6-course tasting menu will take place at the stunning riverside location of Bosun’s Restaurant in York on Tuesday 20th May 2025.
The Epicurean Duo was formed by MasterChef: The Professionals 2024 Finalist, George Birtwell, and Great British Menu 2024 competitor, Samira Effa, combining their expertise in fine dining to create intimate, storytelling-driven culinary experiences.
