This is not a meal; it is a theatrical, multi-sensory experience. The tour is an expedition into the mind of Heston Blumenthal at his three-Michelin-starred The Fat Duck. The entire experience is a narrative — a journey of curiosity and discovery based on Heston's childhood memories.
From the famous "Sound of the Sea" to magical, disappearing desserts, this is a once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure housed in a 16th-century building in the village of Bray.
