Choose your courses
Two courses for £39 or three for £49. You pre-order when you book so the kitchen can prep every dish properly.

The same chef, after dark
Ankur's evening table
By night, it's the same kitchen and the same chef. Trained at the Institute of Hotel Management in India and with the Taj group, Ankur brings more than 27 years across luxury hotels and restaurants to Sutton High Street.
The evening service is built on the same principles that made our brunch so loved — carefully chosen ingredients, classical technique, a little modern creativity. The menu is his: slow-cooked rib eye, confit duck, a pistachio Basque cheesecake to finish. With just 6 tables a sitting, every plate gets his attention.
Date night, a family gathering, a celebration, or simply an exceptional meal — this is the next evolution of LA Cafe.
