Greg Wallace opens new cafe restaurant

Wallace & Co is a new cafe restaurant owned by MasterChef presenter, Gregg Wallace and the team behind his fruit & veg company, Secrett’s Direct. From its base at Secrett’s Farm in Milford, Surrey, Secrett’s Direct grows high quality fruit and veg specifically for the restaurant market, with the emphasis on flavour, not appearance or shelf life.

Wallace & Co is Gregg Wallace's first restaurant venture and he has developed the menu with head chef Tim Payne. Tim Payne has worked previously with Pierre Koffman at La Tante Claire and Marco Pierre White at Harvey’s, The Mirabelle and The Canteen. More recently he has worked with Oliver Peyton and the Columbo Group as head chef at The Paradise, Kensal Green. The menu is set to feature the best local and seasonal produce available, and will change regularly in order to showcase food that is in its seasonal bloom.

There will be a small selection of fruit and veg available to buy at the cafe, and much of the menu will be available for takeaway. The meat being served at Wallace & Co will be supplied by farmers from Tim’s home county of Lancashire.

Gregg Wallace says of this latest project: “Wallace & Co is all about the very best of our British fruit and veg, and the salad and vegetable offering is at the heart of the menu – whether as an accompaniment to the main dishes or as the main dish itself.”

Wallace & Co can be found at 146 Upper Richmond Rd, London, SW15 2SW. For bookings from Thursday 14th January please call 020 8780 0052. Opening hours will run as follows: Mon - Sat: 8am - 11pm. Sun: 9am - 10.30pm.
