A renowned chef is returning to a boutiqe Southend hotel and restaurant to host a special Indian tasting night.

A seven-course Anglo-Indian feast will be prepared by celebrity chef Dipna Anand at the Aurum restaurant at Seven Hotel in Southend.

The Clifton Terrace hotel, which boasts views across the city's famous pier from most of its rooms, is collaborating with the famous Indian chef for an exclusive tasting evening with innovative dishes such as popular Indian street food 'Sev Puri' and the smooth Tandoori Salmon.

Co-owner of the famous Brilliant Restaurant in Southall, which has previously been named as King Charles III's favourite Indian restaurant, Dipna Anand is a celebrated chef with numerous accolades to her name.

She also recently founded a new restaurant and bar in Somerset House’s esteemed South Wing, and featured on James Martin's Saturday Morning in April.

At the event on Thursday September 21, attendees will also have the opportunity to win a special gift from Dipna Anand.

This one-off event is expected to sell out quickly, so customers are urged to book early and ensure their spot.

Tickets are £59 per person with credit card details required to confirm the reservation.

Seven Hotel's 70-seater modern British restaurant is overseen by head chef Luke Selby, serving award-winning Himalayan Salt Aged steak, and fresh seafood. 

The adjoining gin-centric bar also features more than 30 types of gin.

The hotel itself became the first in the then-town to make it into the world-famous Michelin Guide when it was featured in the 2019 edition.
