Claridge's "Kitchen Supper Series", in association with The Good Food Guide, will see top chefs from across the UK commandeer the hotel's kitchen for one-night-only events.
Launching in September 2024 and running until July 2025, the series will feature a different chef cooking at the Mayfair hotel every other month .
Each dinner will take place at L'Epicerie, the chef's table overlooking the kitchen. With just 14 seats available, diners will have the rare opportunity to witness culinary theatre up close. Simon Attridge, Culinary Director at Claridge's, will kick off the series in September, showcasing the best seasonal produce with the hotel's signature flair.
Next up, expect the likes of Gareth Ward from Ynyshir in Wales, Sam Carter of Cambridge's Restaurant Twenty Two, and Roberta Hall-McCarron from Edinburgh's The Little Chartroom.
"We're proud to introduce these suppers to showcase the best of culinary talent across the UK," Attridge says. "Working alongside the distinguished network of The Good Food Guide, we look forward to exploring alternative and innovative menus and produce, whilst of course celebrating the timeless tradition of the hotel."Adam Hyman, publisher of the Good Food Guide, says: "Since it launched in 1951, The Good Food Guide has always been about showcasing the best cooking around Britain. After taking ownership of the Guide in 2021, we have hosted a number of events for our readers. We are incredibly excited to collaborate with Claridge’s for the Kitchen Supper Series and bring some of Britain’s best chefs to the heart of Mayfair to cook their food with Simon and his team.”The series promises to bring a taste of Britain's diverse culinary landscape to London, offering locals and hotel guests alike the chance to experience menus not typically available in the capital.
With top chefs travelling from across the country, each event is set to be a unique gastronomic journey.
