Jason Atherton is known as one of Britain’s best-loved chefs and owner of multiple Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide. He started out working alongside famous chefs including Marco Pierre White and Pierre Koffmann, before joining Gordon Ramsay Holdings in 2001.
The Food
We had the aged beef tartar in pickled shimeji, miso mayonnaise, egg jam, wagyu fat crouton to start which was very light and delicious. We then went onto our main course which was a succulent piece of wagyu rump cap served with Koffman’s triple-cooked chips, mixed salad accompanied by Béarnaise and peppercorn sauces. For dessert, we had the Hokkaido milk, white chocolate panna cotta which was simply delightful. Overall, the food was amazing.
