LONDON REVEALED SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER <strong>2019</strong> TWELFTH EDITION<br />
INTERVIEW WITH<br />
GIUSEPPE CORALLO<br />
How did you find yourself working as Bar<br />
Manager at Kitchen at Holmes <strong>and</strong> getting<br />
into the industry?<br />
I started my career in a bar when I was 20<br />
years-old in Italy then came to <strong>London</strong><br />
where I’ve worked at Nobo, Aqua<br />
BAR MANAGER AT KITCHEN AT HOLMES<br />
<strong>and</strong> Soho House. I then started<br />
focusing on openings - my first<br />
one was Mr Foggs Tavern. I<br />
like to do openings as it’s the<br />
best time to insert some of<br />
your DNA into a project. I<br />
also enjoy working at hotels<br />
as you have the chance to<br />
get involved with guests in a<br />
different way.<br />
I loved Kitchen at Holmes from<br />
the first moment I saw it - I thought it’s smart,<br />
easy-going <strong>and</strong> has lots of potential. It suited my<br />
style <strong>and</strong> I couldn’t wait to make my mark on it.<br />
“I THOUGHT IT’S<br />
SMART, EASY-GOING<br />
AND HAS LOTS<br />
OF POTENTIAL. IT<br />
SUITED MY STYLE<br />
AND I COULDN’T<br />
WAIT TO MAKE MY<br />
MARK ON IT.”<br />

When they offered me the Bar Manager position I<br />
accepted without hesitation.<br />
What can we expect from the cocktails at<br />
Kitchen at Holmes?<br />
Each cocktail has a character <strong>and</strong> a ‘why’<br />
behind it. We have six cocktails on the<br />
menu including Sherlock’s Pipe, a<br />
negroni-based cocktail served in a pipe<br />
<strong>and</strong> KT Time, a refreshing cocktail<br />
with gin, cranberry <strong>and</strong> hibiscus<br />
served in a teapot (recipe below). We<br />
have been quite playful.<br />
What would you choose to eat <strong>and</strong> for<br />
the perfect accompaniment to drink at<br />
Kitchen at Holmes?<br />
Sherlock’s Pipe makes a great aperitif <strong>and</strong> goes<br />
well with starters like the Ibérico Bellota or Wild<br />
Boar Salami. The KT Time could be matched with
