This October we are thrilled to be hosting chef patron of the award-winning Lebnani in Reigate, England, Jad Youssef, in celebration of his debut cookbook, Lebnani: A Journey through family, food & the flavours of Lebanon! Join us for a multi-course meal in our Greenhouse featuring a Lebanese mezze feast inspired by recipes from the book and prepared by Chef Alex and the Granor Kitchen, followed by a book signing with Jad Youssef.
The meal will be paired with Granor Table Wines and full NA beverages are available upon request. Copies of Lebnani are available for pre-order at the time of booking and will be available for purchase at the event.
Jad Youssef is a renowned chef whose award-winning restaurant, Lebnani, sources local, seasonal ingredients to bring the flavors of his Lebanese heritage to diners in Reigate, Surrey. Born in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War, Chef Youssef first learned to cook in his mother's kitchen and his father’s pastry shop. After training at Ecole Hoteliere in Beirut, he worked at many top restaurants throughout Europe. In 2009, Youssef opened Yalla Yalla in Soho—one of London's first Lebanese street food restaurants, for which he received critical acclaim.
In 2020, Chef Youssef moved back to the UK from Hong Kong and founded Lebnani, which has earned an AA Rosette in May 2025 and won the Be Inclusive Hospitality Middle Eastern Food Award in October 2025. His signature dish—Sawda Djej (chicken liver with pomegranate molasses)—has gained cult status, earning a place in Time Out London’s “100 Best Dishes." Chef Youssef is an alum of Celebrity MasterChef UK and has been featured in The Times, The Observer, Financial Times and The Guardian.
Most recently, Chef Youssef is sharing a heartfelt collection of recipes and stories with readers across the globe through his debut cookbook, Lebnani: A Journey through family, food & the flavours of Lebanon. This cookbook is a celebration of not only the diversity of Lebanese cuisine, but of a nation's history, culture, and resilience. We are delighted to welcome Chef Youssef to Granor Farm this fall to commemorate the release of this triumphant work.

Bean Nouveau: Dinner + Drinks with Sheridan Acres
We're big fans of beans at Granor Farm—so much so that we host a Bean Nouveau festival each year in celebration of the bean harvest! This year we are thrilled to be joined by heirloom bean grower, Kevin Messing, of Sheridan Acres as part of our Dinner + Drink series.
The evening will kick off with a cocktail and appetizer hour featuring heirloom beans grown by Sheridan Acres and prepared by the Granor Kitchen alongside spirits from our micro-distillery. During this time, guests will have opportunity to learn from Kevin about his farming practices and all things beans. We will then move to the Granor Greenhouse for a family-style meal loaded with Granor-grown produce and Sheridan Acres beans.
The meal will be paired with Granor Table Wines and full NA beverages are available upon request. A selection of Sheridan Acres ingredients will be available for sale on the night of the event.
