A winter evening in Chelsea. Myrtle’s dining room filled with the sound of Irish voices. And at the centre of it all, chef and broadcaster Anna Haugh, in conversation with a room of WIN members.
Our private dining experience at Myrtle was designed to feel like being invited into Anna’s world. Over a welcome glass of crémant, members heard her speak about leadership in the kitchen, how she keeps creativity alive in her team, and why Irish food is so central to how she cooks and who she is. She also shared a frank, insider’s view of the hospitality landscape, touching on the realities of Brexit, supply chains, and where the real responsibility for change lies.
Guests then moved into a beautifully paced tasting menu: smoked salmon with horseradish and dill, rich black pudding with barley and apple, sirloin of Irish beef boxty with Irish black butter, and a duo of desserts including a standout Chocolate Guinness mousse. Conversation flowed as easily as the wine, with connections made around the table that will last long after dessert.
This is why WIN exists: to create spaces where culture, food, storytelling and community come together, and where our members have access to people and experiences you simply can’t find elsewhere.
If you’re looking for more than just another networking event and you want to be in the room for future members-only dinners, panels and cultural nights, we’d love to welcome you as a WIN member. Visit our website to join and make sure you don’t miss the next seat at the table.
