Plural noun
We are rooted in dual heritage - blending Italian traditions with local influences. We source seasonal produce from the surrounding area, working closely with growers and producers who share our commitment to quality. Our menus celebrate both the authentic flavours of Italy and the exceptional ingredients of the region, creating a unique dialogue between our heritage and the landscape around us.
Strati represents our philosophy perfectly: each dish is composed of carefully considered layers - flavours that build and develop, techniques that layer depth, and layers of meaning. Just as our name suggests, we construct every plate thoughtfully, allowing each element to contribute to a complete and harmonious whole. It’s this meticulous layering that transforms good cooking into true craftsmanship.
Innovation drives us forward. We continuously study ingredients, techniques, and flavours to push boundaries while staying true to our principles. Our kitchen is a laboratory where tradition meets creativity, allowing us to evolve without losing our identity. Through experimentation, we discover new ways to layer flavours and refine our craft.
We don’t just buy from our suppliers - we partner with them. Together with trusted producers, we’re always exploring ingredients that spark ideas and deliver real quality, with a natural lean towards organic and certified. These relationships are built on mutual respect, trust, and shared values, allowing us to support our local community while remaining curious about exceptional ingredients and producers wherever they may be found.
Cooking is everything to us. Through our food, we express creativity and show deep respect for every ingredient. Each plate that leaves our kitchen carries the care, skill, and commitment we bring to what we do. We believe that food, when done right, has the power to elevate and inspire.
Every dish on our menu carries a narrative. We believe in understanding the origins of our ingredients, honouring the traditions that inspire us, and telling the stories that connect our dual heritage to Surrey’s landscape. Our food tells stories of craft, heritage, and the people behind every ingredient that reaches your plate - each dish is a chapter in our ongoing culinary journey.
