Refettorio Felix’s beautiful dining room will be dressed up for the occasion, complete with tableware donated by Sophie Allport, Christmas trees and decorations donated by Harrods.

ABOUT OUR CHEFS
Tom Booton, the youngest head chef in the history of The Grill at The Dorchester, will prepare and serve the starter inside the Big Green Egg taxi, a converted London cab complete with integrated EGG, parked outside the venue. The fish and meat courses will be cooked in a more conventional setting by Kate Austen, the first female winner of the Great British Menu main course, and Matt Burgess, the Maori chef who headed up the Caravan restaurants and now runs the Kaiwhenua food consultancy. Dessert will be prepared by Nisha Parmar, private chef to the stars.
