Come and meet the funniest man in cricket over our usual sumptuous lunch and drinks at M Restaurant. Yes, it’s time for Tuffers, a man who will make you laugh even if you don’t like cricket. Phil Tufnell was a very fine cricketer, too, playing in 42 tests for England and taking 121 wickets with his left arm orthodox spin, playing with the likes of Mike Atherton, Graham Thorpe, Nasser Hussain and Alec Stewart, and against the might of the best Australian team and a Brian Lara inspired West Indies. As if that’s not enough Tuffers went on to become King of the Jungle in I’m a Celebrity, a long-serving captain on A Question of Sport, danced in Strictly Come Dancing and is a Test Match Special pundit and commentator.

M Restaurant proudly celebrates its 10th Anniversary this November with the launch of our special Heirloom Menu, honouring a decade of culinary excellence with some of M’s most iconic dishes for a nostalgic dining experience. Each dish on the menu revisits key moments in the restaurant’s journey, combining modern techniques with the beloved ingredients that have come to define M’s signature style.
The menu features starters like Tuna Tataki and Smoked Wagyu Tartare. For mains, highlights include M’s Iberico Pork and Sirloin Steak with Parisian Green Sauce. Desserts offer indulgences like the classic ‘Snickers’, served with Dulce de Leche Ice Cream, or the comforting M Apple Pie. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to experience our rich culinary history through this special menu. Throughout November, enjoy a carefully curated greatest hits selection of starters, mains and desserts – 3 courses for £50.
As an award-winning restaurant serving the finest steaks from around the world, we know the challenge this poses when talking about decarbonisation and in achieving our ambitious impact and sustainability targets. Since 2016 we have partnered with the ‘Not For Sale’ movement to fight modern-day slavery and since 2019 invested in their global re-forestation projects, to offset the carbon footprint of our beef production. We continue to put our aspirations into action and find ways to make better choices for what to put on our menus.
This is why M is proud to have partnered with climate accounting experts Klimato to calculate the carbon footprint of each dish on our Group Dining Menus. Through the Klimato platform, we can obtain insights into the environmental impacts of the food and beverages we choose to use, in particular the carbon emissions associated with each ingredient.
We have calculated the carbon footprint of each of our three Group Dining Menus and, as part of our sustainability strategy to tackle the carbon emissions already in the atmosphere from these menus, M is proudly investing in additional offsetting projects with ‘Not For Sale’ providing access to employment for vulnerable individuals through our tree planting projects, which remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere and in doing so make our Group Dining Menu options sustainable and carbon neutral.
Looking to the future, this partnership with Klimato will enable us to make real strides towards our net zero targets, using the platform when designing menus across all our restaurants to reduce the average carbon footprint of a dish across all our menus to our target of 2kgs by 2030.
We are excited for the coming months to see what more we can achieve with the help of Klimato! You can find out more about their work here.
