Tonight

Reserve

One counter of oiled walnut.

Twelve stools around a horseshoe, the hearth at its open end, the cooks inside it. Nothing in the room is more than four meters from the fire.

The hearth end of the horseshoe from above: both walnut arms set with linen, dark stoneware and a lit candle at each place, the fire glowing between them.

Every stool sees the hearth.

Each stool sees the evening differently. Point at one on the plan to see the view from it.

Point at a stool, or tab through them, to see its view.

The view from stool 6: down the whole length of the horseshoe to the hearth, a candle at every place.

What the room is made of.

Walnut
One black walnut tree from Suffolk County, 9.4 m of counter, oiled every Monday by Rosa.
Candles
Beeswax, 38 a night, in brass cups. The two at the pass sit in walnut cups turned from the counter's offcuts.
Stools
Bentwood ash, 66 cm, low backs. Chairs with arms at 6 and 7 on request.
Linen
Undyed, washed soft.
Glass
Blown in Brooklyn, thin enough that a dozen break a month.
Stoneware
Dark, thrown for us on the North Shore.
Two hands oiling the edge of the black walnut counter with a linen cloth, beeswax candles waiting in brass cups.
Monday, the walnut is oiled end to end

The rhythm of a night.

Each seating is ninety minutes. Courses come in a steady rhythm because they go straight from the hearth to you; nothing waits under a lamp. Between seatings we clear, oil the walnut where glasses stood, and set new candles.

Comfort and access.

The entrance is step-free from Tallow Lane. The counter is 92 cm high; at stools 6 and 7 a lowered 76 cm section takes chairs with arms or a wheelchair. The restroom is step-free with a grab rail. The room smells of beeswax and wood smoke; tell us if that is a problem and we will seat you at the far end of an arm.

The hearth ends, 1 and 12, are warm. Bring a layer if you run cold, leave it at home if you run hot.

Choose a stool by number.

Stools 6 and 7 take a chair with arms. 1 and 12 sit at the fire. The plan on the next page shows which are open tonight.
