Scoop x Rogues - Gabriel Waterhouse, The Water House Project

ROGUES X SCOOP - Gabriel Waterhouse, The Water House Project

Hey folks, picture this: it’s 2016 and you’re wondering what to do for the weekend. This professional chef is doing a supper club at his flat in Bethnal Green, and you’ve heard it’s pretty special. You message a group of friends and call the chef only to find out it’s fully booked for the next… three months!

Here with another Rogues x Scoop collaboration Zac and I chat with Gabriel Waterhouse, the founder of The Waterhouse Project. Unusually, Gabriel started making his solo path pretty early in his career. Whilst working at Galvin La Chapelle, Gabriel hosted supper clubs at his London flat on his days off; this side hustle flourished into a fully-fledged site in 2021. Gabriel creates a new seasonal tasting menu every three months and each night (and Saturday lunch) there is only one time slot and every guest eats the same dishes at the same time. In a world in which we have an abundance of choice, why not treat yourself with being completely looked after?

This was such a wonderful conversation - the passion and the love that Gabriel brings to his work is evident: from the stories of working insane hours establishing his own business to the non-alcoholic pairings he and his team concoct, and the tranquillity of the kitchen space.

A big thank you to Gabriel for inviting us into his space and I hope everyone enjoyed the latest episode.

I’m Stella with my co-host Zac, and we’re gonna take you out for dinner.
