A new culinary vision

Romy’s culinary inspiration is rooted in memory, travel and the remarkable women who shaped her love of food. Her cooking moves across India’s diverse regional traditions, from the rich, comforting flavours of Punjab and the street food of Bengal to the coastal spice of Kerala and the aromatic kitchens of Rajasthan and Kashmir. These influences are reimagined through British produce, contemporary technique and her own distinctive culinary voice. Every dish carries a sense of place and personal history, transforming lived experience into food that is generous, expressive and designed to be shared, creating connection around the table with every guest.

Romy’s believes that exceptional food depends on exceptional ingredients. At The Pem, she works closely with British producers, selecting seasonal produce of outstanding quality and allowing it to shape the menu throughout the year. Many spices are be blended by Romy herself, bringing precision, character and a deeply personal touch to each dish. Wherever possible, the restaurant will also support women-led suppliers, including Jess’s Ladies Organic Farm in Gloucestershire. By combining carefully sourced British ingredients with the regional flavours and traditions of India, Romy creates food that feels both rooted and contemporary.
