Having been nurtured by the legendary Heston Blumenthal, our remarkable chef Jonas Lodge will guide you through a world of culinary excellence with his dishes curated especially for the Southampton International Boat Show.

Jonas has curated this menu for the show, taking inspiration from his impressive international career as well as from the exceptional culinary opportunities that the south coast provides. He cooks only using the freshest, seasonal local produce, so has noted that this menu may change as he refines it to ensure he provides only the very best for the show.
