Celebrating 30 years of Heston Blumenthal OBE and The Fat Duck

24 February 2026


Thirty years of questioning everything. Thirty years of culinary exploration and extraordinary moments at the dining table. Heston’s journey began when he was 16, when he went to the three-star L’Oustau de Baumanière and was bowled over by its theatricality and multisensory richness. He began visiting France every summer, translating French cookbooks word by word and cooking the classics over and over.
