Waterside Inn celebrates 25 years of three Michelin stars

Bray is famous for being home to two of the UK's three, three-Michelin-starred restaurants, but on Tuesday night it was literally crawling with starred chefs from across Britain. The chefs had been invited by Michel and Alain Roux to celebrate achieving three-Michelin-stars for the 25th consecutive year at The Waterside Inn (the only restaurant to achieve this accolade outside France).

The night began with champagne and canapés (chefs could be seen making bee-line for the potatoes and caviar) and progressed into finger plates of dishes from the restaurant's 25 years, including classics like snail flan and foie gras.

It would take up to much space to list all of the chefs who attended here, but Pierre Koffmann could be seen chatting to his former protégés Tom Aikens and Tom Kitchin, while Phil Howard, Gary Rhodes and Angela Hartnett shared a giggle. Raymond Blanc was there sporting a rather fetching beard, and, despite his broken leg, was, as usual, the life of the party. By the end of the night he was spotted sharing a plate of cheese with old friend Michel.
