Claridge’s, the legendary Mayfair hotel, has announced a new dining experience in partnership with renowned restaurant bible The Good Food Guide. The Kitchen Supper Series will offer diners front row seats and extraordinary culinary theatre at the chef’s table, whilst top chefs featured in The Good Food Guide take over the hallowed Claridge’s kitchen for one night only. Set to launch in September 2024, the exclusive dinners will introduce notable names from the guide, from Scotland to Devon, Cumbria to Wales, celebrating the very best of British dining.
Simon Attridge, Culinary Director at Claridge’s, will be at the helm of the series, and host the inaugural dinner in September serving the very best produce of the season in true Claridge’s style. Following Simon, a selection of Britain’s most celebrated chefs who proudly feature in The Good Food Guide, including Gareth Ward (Ynyshir in Wales), Sam Carter (Restaurant Twenty Two in Cambridge), Hrishikesh Desai (Farlam Hall in Cumbria), Roberta Hall-McCarron (The Little Chartroom in Edinburgh), and Elly Wentworth (The Angel in Dartmouth) amongst other exciting names, will take over Claridge’s pots and pans with their very own menu. The L’Epicerie, the chef’s table overlooking the kitchens, will offer up to 14 guests a convivial supper for a culinary night to remember.
Commenting on the launch Attridge said, “The L’Epicerie is at the beating heart of the kitchen here at Claridge’s and we are proud to introduce these suppers to showcase the best of culinary talent across the UK. 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, said, “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 Kitchen Supper Series will allow Londoners and hotel guests alike access to creative menus not usually accessible in London, with top names travelling from across the UK.
