Sky-High Gastronomy: London’s Most Exclusive Dining Series

This autumn, The Peninsula London’s rooftop restaurant Brooklands by Claude Bosi is set to create culinary history. With the launch of Claude & Co at Brooklands, Michelin-starred talents from across the world will join forces above the city skyline, reimagining the four-hands concept as a dialogue between heritage and innovation. In a space where a scale Concorde floats above the dining room and every detail nods to Britain’s golden era of aviation and motorsport, the series promises an unmatched convergence of taste, talent and storytelling.

Helmed by two-Michelin-starred chef Claude Bosi, Brooklands’ new dining series pairs Bosi with internationally acclaimed culinary talents he most admires, crafting one-off tasting menus that transcend geography. Each evening is a creative duel and a meeting of minds where flavours, philosophies and cultural influences collide.

The inaugural experience on 16 September sees Thomas Straker, one of Britain’s most compelling young chefs, join Bosi for a six-course celebration of the very best British game. With a career forged in Michelin kitchens such as The Dorchester and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Straker has since captured the global stage through his charismatic social media presence and the runaway success of STRAKER’S in Notting Hill. Soon to debut in New York, his style blends heritage British produce with modern flair, making him an ideal creative counterpart to Bosi’s refined French technique.

Guests are welcomed with Deutz Champagne and intricate canapés before settling into tables adorned with bespoke Peninsula floral arrangements. Over the course of the evening, dishes alternate between the two chefs, each one paired with wines selected by Melody Wong, The Peninsula London’s Director of Wine. It’s a choreography of taste and storytelling, set against panoramic views of the city skyline.

Future collaborations promise equally rarefied moments:

· 2 October: Three-Michelin-starred Norbert Niederkofler brings the soul of the Italian Dolomites to London, showcasing his vision of sustainability and biodiversity.

· 11 November: Swiss-born Sven Wassmer (three Michelin stars, one Green Star) takes guests on a journey through the refined flavours of Alpine cuisine.

The restaurant itself is a statement in design and heritage, a love letter to British innovation in racing and flight. Diners sit beneath a suspended Concorde model, flanked by the legendary Napier Railton race car, while menus champion the best British ingredients elevated through classical French precision.

At £205 per guest, each Claude & Co evening is more like a cultural event, and an emblem of London’s standing as one of the world’s most exciting culinary capitals.
