Our aim is to take you on a culinary adventure, exposing you to great food of the past. We will introduce you to new flavours and dishes, through historical recipes, techniques, and ingredients. Each menu is carefully crafted to evoke the atmosphere and flavours of the period, whilst giving the fullest breadth of foods of the time.
Step one
Choose any epoch, civilization, or family heritage, or let us offer one of our favourites.
Step two
We work to create an event tailored to your tastes and preferences, including dietary restrictions. This will include a pre-event consultation and site visit.

On the day of your event, we will be there in person, presenting each course with a little history to bring the period to life for you and your guests.
Bountiful spices, the finest fruits, and a courtly code where an enemy guest was treated as royalty.
The Ayyubid Sultanate regarded dining as high art, and viewed generosity through hospitality as a form of diplomacy. This menu recreates that stately grandeur, with a spit-roasted centerpiece and the heady, complex flavors of the Levantine golden age.
Chef's highlight — a soured pomegranate confection
An epic passage across mountains, rivers, and imperial borders into the heart of a reborn empire.
The rise of the Ming Dynasty marked a dramatic shift in taste, replacing the rugged, steppe-influenced fare of the Yuan with unprecedented culinary sophistication. Drawing from every corner of the realm, this menu contrasts the delicate artistry of the imperial courts with the bold flavors of the outer provinces to celebrate the extraordinary breadth of Chinese cuisine.
Chef's highlight — a snow fungus and pear soup
A culinary journey tracing the path of great exploration across the Atlantic Ocean and into the unknown.
The Columbian Exchange was the singular event that transformed food. Starting on European shores and ending with a moment of wonder this menu relives the marvel of discovering the treasures of the New World.
Chef's highlight — a tobacco-infused dessert
Enter a world of leisure and opulence.
The nineteenth century saw Russian imperial dining reach its zenith, seamlessly blending native samovar culture and hearty estate traditions with the meticulous flair of French haute cuisine. Recreating the opulent elegance of aristocratic banquets, this menu pairs elevated Slavic classics with Francophile high-court favorites to celebrate a uniquely brilliant age of gastronomy.
Chef's highlight — blini with caviar
A rich medieval feast in honour of the Bayeux Tapestry's return to England.
Norman rule brought a move away from the Anglo-Saxon sustenance diet of ale and plain meats towards something recognisable as cuisine, bringing with it England's first noted chef, and changes to food language that would last a millennium. Focusing entirely on the new continental elite, this menu offers an unapologetically carnivorous feast of forest game, spiced meats, and flowing wines fit for William’s new court.
Chef's highlight — venison with duck liver

"I'm Josh, chef and founder of Epochurian. I've been obsessed with food for as long as I can remember, and have always remembered places by their food."
My family background is extremely diverse, so I was brought up on a real melting-pot of cuisines—Cantonese, Shanghainese, Egyptian, Russian, Dutch, and even the occasional bit of British. I started cooking at 10 and just never stopped.
I've been catering parties since my early twenties out of little more than a desire to cook better and ever more interesting food and give people a little joy from eating. The search for fun moments and new food experiences led to the birth of Epochurian.
"I wanted people to feel like they were on an adventure, where the only guarantee was being well fed."
Digging through history allows us to bring novelty and intrigue to our meals, creating dining experiences that our guests will never forget.
We are happy to take you to any time and place in history of your choosing, or offer one of our favourites.
Private garden venue available in N10 for a limited number of bookings.
