Stevie ran an experimental kitchen - Dock Kitchen - at Portobello Docks together with British designer Tom Dixon for eight successful years.

Dock Kitchen had an ever changing menu, trying new things and adapting to what was in season, what far flung place he or another of the chefs had visited, or what new ingredient they had come across abroad or at home.  Dishes were collected, adapted, and recreated Dock Kitchen style. In the evenings we a fixed, shared meal was offered alongside the regular a la carte offering.

Found in a converted Victorian Wharf building as part of an urban regeneration project by Derwent London (also responsible for the Tea

Building in Shoreditch), The Dock Kitchen overlooked the Grand Union Canal in Ladbroke Grove, West London. The original brick arches and beamed ceilings were preserved and combined with an exclusive display of Tom Dixon collection of furniture and lighting to create an honest, open space in keeping with Stevie’s food. 

A best-selling cookbook followed in 2012 and Stevie’s cooking at Dock Kitchen also led to a TV Series with Channel 4 called ‘Spice Trip’ a few years later.  

Dock Kitchen closed in 2017 and Stevie hopes to return it to a new premises one day in the future.
