5 stars in one day back last year to celebrate a new job. We began with a light warm up lunch at The Fat Duck (🙄) before heading straight to @kitchentable1 Kitchen Table for the main event. I booked The FD at the last minute as I was trawling through Tock and a table popped up so I thought why not 🤷🏻‍♂️. All nice enough, and a lot better service than my visit last year which I found quite obviously scripted and robotic. The only flaw being a weird and supremely awkward wine/music experiment that we were made to endure upstairs mid lunch.
‘Taste wine- listen to dramatic music- taste wine again- does it taste different- not really- do I care if it did- no’
I also think that the Fat Duck is now certainly lacking that drive and creativity that it had back in the day, which is a shame as it truly was a ground breaking restaurant.
I should mention that they did take care of Hayley very nicely. She isn’t a huge fan of desserts so instead of the puds the kitchen whipped her up a very nice looking turbot dish which I know she really appreciated.
