Just when you thought the prospect of VIP treatment at an actual palace while a pop superstar performs couldn’t get any better, this happens.
Michelin-starred chef Tom Aitkens is creating a menu for the VIP and hospitality packages at this summer’s Hampton Court Palace Festival.
Head chef at some of London’s top restaurants, including Pied a Terre where he was the youngest British chef to maintain their two-star rating, he now has his own restaurant called Tom’s Kitchen.
He said: “I am very excited to create a special menu for the Hampton Court Palace Festival, it is always a great highlight of the calendar year and I am greatly looking forward to it.”
Tom Jones, Jools Holland, Katherine Jenkins, Art Garfunkel, George Benson, Caro Emerald and Anastacia all perform at the series of concerts between June 8 and 18. Go to hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com
