Star female chef Sally Abé is going it alone for the first time, having been the head chef at numerous high-profile restaurants.
The ex-wife of Matt Abé of Bonheur: Sally made her name at the Harwood Arms (pictured above… oh my those pies were good) before channeling the girl-power of the suffragettes at The Pem in Westminster. Having moved on from The Pem, she briefly sampled rural life at the Bull in Charlbury (which she moved on from last month).
Teal – a “little British bistro” – will open in Hackney next month on the former site of Sesta (RIP).
Sally said:
“My restaurant that I have been dreaming of for 20 years is now becoming a reality. Opening Teal feels incredibly personal. It’s the first restaurant I’ve built entirely on my own, on my own two feet, and I’m hugely proud of that. After years of working in other peoples’ businesses and kitchens, this is me putting my name, my values and my voice into a space that’s mine.
Teal by Sally Abé is about celebrating the best of British food, its history, its flavours, and its stories, while championing women, supporting good causes, and building a restaurant that feels rooted in its community.”
