Later this month Michelin star chef Michel Roux Jr will be cooking up a storm at Heron in Ryde.
Roux Jr will be creating an entire, bespoke, speciality menu for guests to enjoy at Heron on the 24th and 25th February, offering an exciting opportunity to taste the cuisine of one of the UK’s most respected chefs right here on the Isle of Wight.
Tables on 23rd February with Chef Michel have now sold out but due to popular demand, Chef Alex Kimber will continue to serve the menu exclusively on the 24th and 25th February, extending the opportunity to sample some of the finest gastronomic fare. Whilst Chef Michel will not be in attendance on 24th and 25th, guests will still get the chance to try the menu designed by Chef himself.
Chef Alex Kimber has said:
“It is an excellent opportunity to have Chef Michel Roux Jr and his team visit us here at Heron, and the Isle of Wight where we can showcase all that Ryde and the Isle of Wight have to offer.
Chef Michel Roux Jr has been leading the culinary scene in the UK for many years and I have always looked upon the Roux’s as leaders in the culinary world. I personally have been greatly influenced by his passion, style of cuisine, and service.
In January, the restaurants Head Waitress, Lucy, had the honour of being invited on a learning programme at the 2 Michelin-starred Le Gavroche to work under the wings of the Roux family, where she has learned from a team who are internationally recognised for their culinary excellence and unparalleled attention to detail.
The team here at the Heron is so proud and excited to be part of such an exciting event.”
So pleased for Alex great guy great chef.
Only eaten there once, but thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience, and the service is excellent.
