Breakfast of Champions paid homage to the English tradition of the greasy spoon ‘caff’ in a tasting menu of legendary breakfasts. Set within Goldie’s pop-up café, diners were charmed by the disappearing tradition of the family-run café and transported to a bygone time of gingham tablecloths and wipe clean menus. Served by a charming team of waiters, diners were indulged in a fusion of performance, food and drink.

The seemingly simple food offer of a cafe was transformed by Chef Chris Hughes into a delectably re-imagined tasting menu:
