Heston Blumenthal shared this news in an interview with The Times, stating, “I have turned a corner.” The closure marks the end of an era for the restaurant, which has benefited significantly from the high profile of Blumenthal’s other establishment, The Fat Duck.
The restaurant will introduce a special eight-course tasting menu titled A Journey Through History, available for £195 per person until its closure. This menu aims to celebrate the restaurant’s legacy and provide a memorable dining experience for its patrons in its final months.

However, details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential new ventures or projects he may pursue after the closure.
