Two of the UK’s most acclaimed chefs will come together for a collaborative dining event on 9^th September at Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester. Jean-Philippe Blondet, chef patron of the three Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, and Mark Birchall, chef patron of the equally decorated Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms in Lancashire, will jointly prepare a one-off dinner showcasing their respective culinary styles.

The event marks the first time the two chefs will collaborate in the kitchen, and will unite two of the UK’s seven restaurants currently holding three Michelin stars, offering diners a rare opportunity to experience a six-star gastronomic evening. The dinner will be held at The Dorchester on Park Lane, a long-standing institution in London’s fine dining scene.

The menu will feature a combination of signature dishes from both chefs, highlighting their individual yet complementary approaches to modern British and French cuisine. Dishes to be served include Blondet’s Scallop with Citrus Beurre Blanc and Kristal Caviar, and Birchall’s East Coast Lobster with Tarleton Tomatoes, Smoked Marrow and Rosehip. The event aims to celebrate seasonality, technique and provenance, with each course reflecting the chefs’ shared emphasis on precision and innovation.

The collaboration is being overseen by Alain Ducasse himself, the celebrated French chef whose name is synonymous with haute cuisine. While it is a one-night-only affair, it joins a broader trend of collaboration among high-profile culinary stars seeking to push the boundaries of fine dining through shared experiences. Speaking about the upcoming dinner, organisers describe it as “a dialogue of technique, terroir and innovation”.
