The Fat Duck’s most accessible set of menus ever means there has never been a better time to eat at one of the most inventive three-Michelin-star restaurants in the world. A milestone birthday is always a moment to look back at what you’ve done – and look forward to the future. And so, for The Fat Duck’s big 30th birthday, from 5th February 2025 Heston Blumenthal is bringing back the à la carte menu, for the first time in nearly 20 years. A time to rejoice indeed!
During its year-long anniversary celebration, alongside a new version of the Journey tasting menu, the restaurant will offer seasonal a la carte menus featuring four starters, four mains and a trio of desserts, including some of Heston’s most legendary inventions, such as Snail Porridge, Crab Risotto and Bacon & Egg Ice Cream. The new à la carte menu will be priced at £195 for lunch and £225 for dinner. It is intended to be an approachable way for guests to discover the culinary wonderment for which The Fat Duck is famous. Meanwhile, the Journey tasting menu will be £295.
The Fat Duck creator Heston Blumenthal OBE said: “The Fat Duck is not just a restaurant, it’s a doorway to a world of insights and surprises and emotions. And I’ve always wanted as many people as possible to experience that. I’m excited that, with the reintroduction of à la carte, we can be more accessible to more people during this special anniversary year.”
