Claridge’s, the iconic Mayfair hotel, is set to elevate London’s dining scene with a new culinary venture in collaboration with the esteemed restaurant guide, The Good Food Guide.
Launching in September 2024, the "Kitchen Supper Series" promises an unforgettable dining experience, featuring some of the UK's most celebrated chefs as they take over the revered Claridge’s kitchen for a series of exclusive, one-night-only events.
This unique partnership will offer diners an extraordinary opportunity to witness culinary mastery up close at Claridge’s chef’s table, L’Epicerie. With just 14 seats available, guests will enjoy an intimate supper, showcasing innovative and seasonal menus crafted by top chefs from across the UK, each recognized by The Good Food Guide. The series will highlight the very best of British dining, with chefs travelling from as far as Scotland, Devon, Cumbria, and Wales to present their distinctive culinary styles in the heart of Mayfair.
A Stellar Line-Up of Culinary Talent
Simon Attridge, the Culinary Director at Claridge’s, will kick off the series in September with an inaugural dinner that epitomizes the timeless elegance and refined cuisine that Claridge’s is known for.
Attridge’s menu will feature the finest seasonal produce, presented with the flair and sophistication that guests have come to expect from the legendary hotel.
Following Attridge, a roster of Britain’s most acclaimed chefs will take the helm at Claridge’s, bringing their own unique flavours and techniques to London.
The impressive line-up includes:
