All set for The Singleton’s Chef’s Table at Zara Gardens

The Singleton’s Chef’s Table gathering, a series of exclusive fine dining events curated by The Singleton whisky brand, has yet again brought a celebrated chef for the December Edition.

For this edition, Zara Gardens’ award-winning culinary artist, Chef Andrew Nsubuga, is set to take centre stage.

Known for his inventive approach to modern Ugandan cuisine, Chef Andrew will guide guests through an intimate multi-course journey that blends local heritage with global technique, each plate meticulously paired with a curated selection of The Singleton cocktails.

This edition of the Chef’s Table brings the experience home for Andrew, whose work at Zara Gardens has earned him a reputation for elevating everyday Ugandan staples into refined, contemporary dishes.

His menus often read like love letters to the country’s produce; vibrant, minimalistic in presentation, yet deeply layered in flavour.

For this special evening, he is accepting inspiration from the Italian cuisines with an introduction of a Ugandan spin to them.

“For me, cooking has always been about telling our story through flavour. Headlining The Singleton’s Chef’s Table is an opportunity to show how far Ugandan cuisine can stretch when we treat our ingredients with curiosity and respect.

I’m excited to create a menu that feels familiar, yet surprising and to pair each course with a whisky that brings out its soul.”

The Singleton continues to champion premium, story-driven gastronomy, with the Chef’s Table continuing as that platform for celebrating culinary innovation.

“Our whisky is crafted to be savoured; its smooth, rich layers are designed to complement fine food and elevate shared moments around the table. Events like this allow people to taste special flavour profiles and truly experience how it enhances every bite, every laugh, and every memory made,” said Simon Lapyem, The Singleton Brand Manager.

As it has always been at The Chef’s Table, The Singleton cocktails are crafted to fit the profile of the menu to be served, this edition will have some classic ones and a few experimental ones by Ivan Kanyesigye, the mixologist of the day.
