SIMPLICITY.

Among the highlights will be Ashley Palmer-Watts – Executive Chef of The Fat Duck Group – who will be heading up the kitchen at Heston Blumenthal’s new Mandarin Oriental restaurant scheduled to
open this winter. Palmer-Watts — will present for the very first time dishes created for the new menu, dishes inspired by our historic British gastronomic heritage.

In addition, Jason Atherton will also be introducing his new menu and showcasing some of the dishes from his first solo venture, Pollen Street Social – Jason Athertonwhich opens in London’s
Mayfair in the autumn.

Alvin Leung from Hong Kong’s, “x-treme” restaurant, Bo Innovation will present his Big Bang dish – a unusual sugar sphere, filled with almond foam and sandalwood smoke – and a further outrageous
creation developed to promote and raise awareness for his Aids Concern charity – more to be revealed on the day and in true Leung style, guaranteed to shock!
