After the build up of years of fantastic reviews and TV coverage, we were thrilled that The Fat Duck lived up to the fanfare. Having been nervous that we might feel out of place, the wonderful staff (15 cooks & 15 waiters to 40 guests) ensured we were made to feel thoroughly welcome from the moment we arrived, with lovely little touches to make our anniversary lunch all the more magical. The food was incredible and the whole 4.5hr feast fantastically fun - what a relief that Heston never listened to anyone insisting you shouldn't play with your food! There's no denying that this isn't ever going to be described as a 'cheap' experience but, as a one-off treat and considering the incredible attention to detail (and months of preparatory work behind every dish), we felt it was definitely worth it for us.
