Claridge’s has named the next chefs to feature in its Kitchen Supper Series, a dining experience run in partnership with the Good Food Guide.
Merlin Labron-Johnson of Osip in Somerset and Paul Ainsworth of Paul Ainsworth at No6 in Cornwall will each cook a one-night-only menu from the hotel’s kitchen in Mayfair this autumn. Both restaurants appear in the Good Food Guide and hold Michelin stars.
Held in Claridge’s L’Epicerie – a chef’s table space overlooking the kitchens – the events are designed to offer diners “front row seats” to a one-off menu from each guest chef. The dinners seat up to 14 guests and aim to spotlight “the very best of British dining” from across the country, according to organisers.
Simon Attridge, culinary director at Claridge’s, 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, added: “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.”
Labron-Johnson will cook on 29 September and Ainsworth on 10 November.
