The Tatler Menu: Cook at home with Britain's Best Chefs
Collection of 4 courses
Course Description
While the starter delights the senses and the dessert satisfies the sweet tooth, it’s the main course that we all look forward to the most. Peter Gray (head chef of The Hind’s Head, Bray) is on hand to demonstrate a showstopping main course, exhibiting a true mastery of technique and style.
During this course, you will learn to cook a duck and beetroot barley, a vegetarian/vegan alternative and finish off with Heston’s infamous triple-cooked chips. A dish that you can recreate time and time again. You will also have been taken through possible wine pairings so that you can take in a little wine knowledge!
Peter Gray is the head chef at Heston Blumenthal’s Michelin-starred restaurant, The Hind’s Head in Bray. The restaurant has been serving the inhabitants of Bray and its visitors since the 1400s, and its menus reflect its illustrious and highly individual lineage with classic British dishes – all cooked with exceptional technical dexterity and consummate culinary imagination.
Pete’s energy, creativity and curiosity make him perfectly suited for the culinary research and development that play such an important part in the restaurant. Integral to the Hind’s Head is Heston Blumenthal’s philosophy, ‘Question Everything’ – something Pete aims to uphold every day in his kitchen. His curated menu is seasonal, and Peter constantly strives to re-imagine the best of traditional British cooking.

Meet Peter Gray
Head chef at The Hind’s Head, Pete’s energy, creativity and curiosity make him perfectly suited for the culinary research and development that plays such an important part in the restaurant. Integral to the Hind’s Head is Heston Blumenthal’s philosophy of ‘Question Everything’ – something Pete aims to uphold every day in his kitchen. His curated menu is seasonal, and Peter constantly strives to re-imagine the best of traditional British cooking.
Pete says: ‘I have free reign to come up with ideas and put dishes forward for the menu, although it takes quite a bit of time for that to happen because we like to ensure everything about a dish is perfect before it’s served to customers. We’re always refining and tweaking existing dishes to ensure they’re as good as they can be.’
Pete has proved himself to be more than capable of the job, and The Hind’s Head continues to be a destination restaurant that serves incredible British classics with a quirky Heston twist. The dishes themselves might look simple, but the amount of work that goes into ensuring every plate that leaves the pass is perfect as can be is astounding.
