Chef's Table in Hyde Park

Well, now it really does feel like Summer!

The exclusive Chef’s Table at The House of Peroni is back at Open House in Hyde Park for 2024, and this Summer it’s hosted by the wonderful Cornish Orchards and Woodfired Canteen.

I went along to experience this event for myself on Friday night and it was completely gorgeous. Long table dining is one of my favourite ways to feast, and I was excited.

I popped out of Marble Arch station and walked for only two or three minutes, before I’d arrived in what seemed to be, a kind of magical land… gorgeous light, gorgeous sounds, gorgeous aromas…. And the Chef’s Table looked absolutely beautiful in the dipping sunshine. Proper magic vibes. 

Before we knew it, we were all sat down, sipping 100% fresh pressed Cornish Orchards cider and chatting to our neighbours. All of whom were smiling. There was a silent collective agreement that we were all delighted to be there. And excited to see what would come whizzing out of the kitchen.

Turns out, the menu was excellent – Ben Quinn and his team at Woodfired Canteen really knocked it out of the park (badaboom) with their amazing seasonal and big-flavoured cookery using the best of Cornish produce.

Burnt chilli marinated mozzarella with butter leaves, peaches and shaved radish, basil oil and toasted sunflower seeds
Creamy borlotti beans with wood roasted tomatoes and smoked garlic
Ben Quinn’s smoked chicken, rested in brown sugar & cider vinegar served with whole herb salsa verde
Cornish fairings with vanilla and cardamom mascarpone with strawberries in cider and mint

The vibes all around were joyous and relaxed – there’s so much going on in the rest of the park –  the orchestra was playing movie classics in the background, the funfair rides were in full swing… it felt like a festival. It felt like I was on holiday.

The people, the food and the beautiful park were all woven together in a kind of magical tapestry… It was a very special and unique dining experience, in the heart of London’s Hyde Park, and an experience I absolutely recommend grabbing tickets for, if you can.

There is still some availability next Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd July and you can book tickets here.
