A private dinner at home, prepared by celebrity chef Marcus Wareing
Marcus Wareing is excited about the re-opening of his restaurant at The Berkeley which will reopen next month as ‘Marcus’.

Knightsbridge Circle members have an opportunity to have Marcus prepare, cook and serve you and your better half your very own menu within your very own home.
Dependent on your choice, the Marcus Wareing team will tailor their dishes to your tastes and, in line with the restaurant ethos, the menu will be created with a selection of the finest seasonal ingredients.
The legendary chef is also happy to join you for a drinks reception to introduce the menu before dinner commences. As a finishing touch, each guest can take home a copy of Marcus’s newly released cookery book The Gilbert Scott Book of British Food, which he will personally dedicate.
