Mark Moriarty – 9 September 2015
Mark Moriarty may be a name you might not know just yet, but one we’re sure you’ll be hearing more of. Mentored by Clare Smyth (Chef Patron, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay), he was recently crowned San Pellegrino's Young Chef 2015, beating 20 other chefs from all over the world. His cooking focuses on classic Irish dishes, but with a modern twist – we’re particularly intrigued by his Guinness porridge dessert.
Tickets for Mark’s dinner are £100 per person, which includes a five course tasting menu with matching wines.
Lee Westcott – 14 September 2015
A very familiar face to Great British Chefs, Lee Westcott previously worked alongside some of the world’s most innovative chefs, including Tom Aikens, and Jason Atherton. Now running the Typing Room at Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel, his creative flair has won him many plaudits, including rave reviews from some of the country’s top restaurant critics and three AA rosettes. His style of food is seasonal and modern with eclectic influences collected during his travels; treating vegetables with extra care and reverence.
Tickets for Lee’s dinner are £150 per person, which includes a six course tasting menu with matching wines.
Glenmorangie whisky dinner – 15 September 2015

Previously working for Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, he is currently preparing for the opening of The Oxford Blue in Windsor.
Tickets for the Glenmorangie dinner are £100 per person, which includes a five course tasting menu and matching whiskies.
