“Eating isn’t just about food. It is about where your food is from, how it’s cooked, where you eat it and the people you’re eating with. These are the ingredients that create the experiences we remember.” James Day, Founder of Gourmet Xperiences.
This is the philosophy that has led the hospitality and marketing experts at Greatest British to create Gourmet Experiences, a unique collection of memorable gourmet gifts and dining experiences.
Each wonderful Gourmet Xperience celebrates the best of British cuisine, whether it’s from outstanding chefs, pioneering cookery schools or independent artisan food producers.
From exclusive chef experiences at Michelin-accredited venues, interactive pop-ups by chefs of distinction, experimental dining experiences, or the chance to discover rising new stars, Gourmet Xperiences transforms a great meal into an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re looking to hone your skills, treat yourself or spoil someone else, we have the perfect gourmet gift for you.
Gourmet Xperiences is supported by some of the country’s leading hospitality figures and charities, with contributions from Raymond Blanc OBE, Cyrus Todiwala OBE, Michael Caines MBE, Shaun Rankin, Brad Carter and ICSA-accredited cookery schools including Jean-Christophe Novelli, Michel Roux Jnr and Leiths School of Food & Wine.
