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.
