What top London chefs really think about Instagram

Heston Blumenthal is famously exacting about the dining experience. He tries to create “sensory memories”, controlling not only the way his dishes look and taste, but what his diners are listening to while they eat. His The Sound of the Sea, a signature dish at The Fat Duck, came with an iPod Nano playing, well, the sound of the sea. But there was a problem: he was struggling to control the temperature of the food when it actually entered the mouths of those diners, not through any fault of the kitchen, but because people were too busy taking pictures for Instagram.
Prominent Soho theatre The Windmill will reopen in June to offer a ‘spectacular’ theatrical dining experience overseen by Chapter One chef Andrew McLeish.
The 350-capacity venue will open from 6pm until late offering various shows and musical acts alongside a menu that’s big on premium ingredients, with sample dishes including whole grilled Dover sole, wagyu sliders, tuna and black sesame tacos and truffle and parmesan taglioni.
With a CV that includes Chez Nico and The Ritz, McLeish became executive chef at Orpington’s Chapter One in 2001 and held a Michelin star there for a decade.
The food will be served alongside a cocktail menu created by Andy Mil of Cocktail Trading Co that ‘pays homage to The Windmill’s extraordinary history’.
