The Restaurants
Over the years we have developed some incredible gastronomic itineraries and, as a result have made some superb contacts in the world of food and wine. Here are some of the restaurants we love to work with:
The Fat Duck
Heston Blumenthal's world-famous, but still tiny restaurant in Bray, has blazed a trail for experimental cooking in this country, but one of its enduring features is also that it is brilliant fun. Sure, guests' sensory perceptions are challenged, their notion of possibility expanded, but never in a po-faced way. Instead, gourmand pilgrims can be witnessed smiling and laughing their way through a foodie marathon.

The Ledbury
Tucked away in the affluent but relatively off-piste Notting Hill neighbourhood of west London, Brett Graham's small but perfectly realised restaurant has become one of the city's ultimate dining destinations. The tone is set by impeccable service, with the largely Antipodean front-of-house staff successfully walking the tightrope between formal and relaxed. Graham's equally outstanding food combines elements of French cuisine using traditional British ingredients, presented with charm and personality.

Hibiscus
Claude Bosi moved Hibiscus to London from Ludlow four years ago and his intense focus has paid increasing dividends with discerning diners. Bosi's dishes tread the fine line between classic and modern. He is not interested in bizarre flavour combinations or hi-tech methods that change the intrinsic nature of ingredients, but instead focuses on originality and flair. The result is a restaurant that stands proud among its peers not only in the UK, but across the globe.
