The Fat Duck Experience 

"Please, sir! Not the glassware!" *CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH*

*shit so fancy, i need a second monocle*

I still don´t get how people get upset about this...if its not for you or its sooooo pretentious...then why the hell do you watch the video and go out of your way to make it sound bad ..its really sad watching people in this comment section missing the entire point of what this is supposed to be about...its not supposed to be compared to anything else...and if you don´t like it, then i believe it takes more than just a RU-vid video to come to this conclusion...just amazing food and so much work that goes into this...i for one would love to eat at this place for once! not because i know for sure that i will love the food but because it looks like an incomparable adventure on multiple levels!

i would never choose to go because i don't have a palette or pretend to have a palette to enjoy this kind of food (for that price). But I appreciate how beautiful and sensory it all is. You don't have to be poor/jealous to decide this kind of cuisine isn't for you, despite what the comments are saying. I'd choose a trip to a little fishing village on some far corner of Scotland and eating seafood there than having wave sounds through headphones and sea foam sprayed in my face.

I've been to a number of Michelin star restaurants. They usually charge a high price for top notch quality meals, and surprisingly the course meal can fill you up more than enough. I usually eat a lot and was initially worried about the small portion sizes. But if you sit through a 2-4 hour long course meal with some good wine at these restaurants, you would feel very filled and fulfilled at the end.

Thank you so much for filming and sharing. I look forward to dining at the Fat Duck.

Look, if you want to eat a lot of food to simply 'fill up', go to Burger King or some other cheap joint. This is not that, this is for a food experience.

People complain about how small the portions are but tasting menus are designed to be small on purpose because there's usually 6 or more courses and that can get anyone very full. You're so lucky you were able to get a reservation there tho! We tried when we went to London but they were fully booked for the next 3 months so we weren't able to go haha! Better luck next time for us

To people complaining about the photography: I understand this is not normal decorum, but to get this reservation and pay the money involved, I would expect people to behave like tourists in this setting. It's a memory people want to preserve. I would relax. I agree in most settings, but not at the fat duck. I think I am far less bothered by cameras in fine restaurants than I am bothered by people that bring young children. Kids do not appreciate this level of stuff and I wish more places turned them away. I know some do, but I have paid $100 for a single dinner with views of the ocean (and I'm not wealthy at all) while having to listen to babies cry. Take all the pictures you want and hire a babysitter.

Food was the main focus. Hehe I think the next table was taking photos too. It's a very nice restaurant. Not pretentious, fancy yet cozy. There was a big family in the restaurant that day and birthday celebrations from some tables. I'm pretty sure end of the day most of us enjoyed ourselves. :)))

I would constantly be saying ' how the fuck do I eat this' lol

Thank you for sharing this! It looked like it was truly a dining experience to remember. Personally I had fun identifying some of the dishes from Heston's Fantastic Feasts episodes -- the mock turtle soup tea from the Victorian feast, the song of the sea from the fishy feast, the oak mist concept (from the fairy tale feast?), the printed white chocolate card (from the Gothic feast?) -- and were those ball things right before the desserts from the Christmas feast? Also the method of serving the duck from the 1970s feast -- I saw the duck meat and was all "they didn't give you the duck skin whaaaaaaat? Oh. There it is!")

This is food to evoke or awaken the senses. The flavours must be sublime. Amazing. The song of the sea dish would probably bring back great memories of the beach.

Amazing, hope I get to eat there one time in my life! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting! That looks awesome.

Appreciate your post, great editing :)

thank you so much for sharing ..this would be the only way i'd ever get to see the inside and to see the food served ...every dish a work of art ..and I think the price is ok considering it would be a once in a lifetime experience..well done ...

I've been here. It was a truly incredible, theatrical experience. I loved it.

I searched fat duck in order to watch some funny video of a overweight duck eating bread or something but instead came to this. Although it wasn't my intention, I am glad I found this. This restaurant seems very unique and although I will probably never go to a place like this. This video allowed me to feel like I was there and experience the restaurant. Anyways I'm going to go look for fat ducks.

The people saying McDonald's is better or save money and get chinese, that it is pretentious ect have no idea what Heston is all about. Is it jealousy because they can't go or just because they could never hope to cook or even try 1% of what is on those plates?? Would love to try this restaurant as he does unbelievable things with food that no other chef is cooking and you use all 5 senses to enjoy!

Its a dream of mine to one day dine in the Fat Duck.

This actually looks so filling. On my bucket list!

Great menu. Lovely presentation of dishes

This is on my bucket list. Never been on a plane but if someday..... I would love to experience this restaurant!

wonderful video of your experience..it's on my bucket list as well.. I'll be dining at Eleven Madison Park soon :)

Setting the bar high is an understatement.

Thank you so much for the upload. Everything looks amazing. Fun fact : Botrytis Cinerea is actually a respiratory disease causing organism found in people working in Vineyards making wine. Its from the grape and causes Restrictive Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. (I have an exam and this is exactly what I was studying and it was cool to see a dish sharing the same name :P )

What an experience ... thank you for sharing

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

6:05 is called sounds of the sea i think i was watching a vid of Heston making it if you have the skills and time and equipment its actually not too hard to make

..great footage of your experience..it's on my bucket list as well. I'll be dining at Eleven Madison Park soon :)

5:23 the service pours the tea over the deko, he just doesnt know better :D

The grass, the glass and the picture frames looks appetizing.

Question: for the dessert course called "Like a kid in a sweet shop", was the Queen of Hearts portion a card made of white chocolate?

Some of these seem like they belong on a shelf as décor.

Salmon poached in liquorice gel is one of the most sublime things I’ve ever eaten. Amazing restaurant.

I appreciate the conceptual creativity.

They invented the expression "feasting your eyes upon" just for this. Beautiful ! This meal sure looks like an experience.

Piece of art visually and taste wise . I will go one day , very very soon !

Wow wow wow. Wish I could be taken on a date here!

What a treat And well filmed Thnx 4 posting Loved it

The plate is that big, yet the food is so smol And this restaurant called "The Fat Duck" isn't that ironic

Wow, the Fat Duck restaurant looks like an amazing experience. I have read a lot of great reviews on them and seen a lot of their behind the kitchen videos. I wish to go there soon, one day. I recently visited Rome and went to a 2 Michelin Star restaurant, Oliver Glowig Restaurant, and it was a bit of a let down. The experience and staff was top notch but the food experience lacked favor and taste. Did you guys do the tasting menu, how many course was it, and how much was the bill? Lucky you.

Now this takes fine dining to a whole other level!!!! That’s what I call delicious!!

@ 10:50 you see the white chocolate playing card that they are being sued over. A former employee who was responsible for making them says that the repetitive motions involved in creating them injured her wrist. They sure look beautiful.

Thanks for posting, it's interesting to see. I could never afford to go there especially now that he has put up the price even more since it reopened. (Also I know I am too fussy an eater anyway!).

Heston is a true genius. If any chef thinks they've cracked it, Heston is always a few steps ahead of you.

These guys are on a whole other level!! WOW!!!

That last dessert should be called "There's a Fungus Among Us"

looks amazing! Were you very full by the end of it haha

The reason it's fourteen courses is because you only get a few teaspoonfuls of each course.

Cool, I've always wanted to be served a window box for lunch !

Drive-through afterwards?

how much it cost this experience ?

headphones in the shell really survived the nuke in the fridge

3:00- the oompaloompa chief's offering ; )

Thanks for the video.

How much was the meal and did you get full? I will try one 3 stars at least once.

Don't know in 2014. I checked now and it's very easy to get a reservation, except if it's a table for two.

This restaurant is actually on my bucket list!

what an eye opening experience,,, gonna record it down my bucket list. is everything on the plate edible? haha

9:08 The type of restaurant I'd feel guilty in for turning down any offers of wine. 😨😂

woww...I wish to visit it some day!

It’s about the food AND the experience. Looks beautiful. Didn’t this place get shut down from some health code violation tho? hard to believe because everything looks so pristine

Debo conocer con urgencia!! Sigo a heston un excelente cocinero

7:14 oh finally, there is the duck

Ok, I'll ask... How much does this set one back to experience this sensory overload? If I remember correctly, it's around $1,000 to enjoy the _Tasting Menu_ at T. Keller's _French Laundry_ not including your beveverages/wines.

Waiter: please have it in one go Me: looking at this tiny piece of toast with a tiny leaf on top

Whisky wine gums! I want those in my lunch kit tomorrow.

I didn't get a chance to secure a seat at Fat Duck in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for sharing. :-)

What camera are you using?

Great video

Music please

See Disney? You're an overpriced highjacker. You can't hold a candle to THIS creativity!

I am awe stuck with happiness!

What are those?

THE WHOLE LOOKS SENSATIONAL !!!!!

Scareface , Al Pacino . The restaurant scene ,was it filmed here ?

somebody help me out why do you need 14 courses. does anybody know what the dinner bill is

5:23 i can hear gordon shout "DONKEYY!!" hes not supposed to destroy the enoki

I like it! I want to have this experience too :)

This must be like visiting Willy Wonka only for real.

Why did I watch this just before bed time now I'm starving!!

Proud to see Tokaji Aszu on the menu!

Im sure it tasted amazing... but the question is were you also not still hungry when you left ?

I can imagine angry chefs killing each other at the kitchen to make sure all this works.

Its so awesome how most of the dishes came from Hestons Feasts.

When I saw song of the sea I was like gotem

I'd like to get my hands on some of those whiskey gums

i ve been trying to figure out how they make a edible gold watch the ticks

Wasnt that supposed to be Sound of the sea and not song?

I thought that you would be a great grand father by the time your food was ready

3:30... seared scallop with daikon... literally scallop... singular.... take note if you see shrimp and rice on their menu -- you’re gonna leave that experience still hungry!

I notice they didn’t show the bill at the end to complete the experience.. I’ve heard it £275 plus wine per head....

Looks amazing. I’d love to know the nutritional value of the whole meal

dig into ffs! I've seen the food, I want to see how it looks on the INSIDE

Whats the price

Interesting...good sharing

How much did it cost because I'm interested in going?

Just Wowwwww amazing stuff
