This is a bittersweet post to write.

Marcus Ashton-Simpson will be leaving DN1 in two weeks, just 7 services time.

From the early days long before DN1 was even thought of Marcus at The Gentleman Fishmonger it has been a pleasure, 6 years of an amazing journey, and we’ve achieved some incredible things. We’re grateful for the food, the memories.

DN1 is a a platform for talented young local chefs to cook, develop their ideas and share their talent. It has been an honour to give Marcus that opportunity. There is real pride in seeing someone grow and take the next step in their career, even when it makes saying goodbye harder. I’m sure there’ll be a more emotional post when the day comes.

For now, there are two weeks of service left with Marcus in the kitchen. If you’ve been meaning to dine with us, we’d love you to join us before he leaves.

Thank you, Marcus, for everything you’ve brought to DN1. And thank you to everyone who has supported him in his journey with us, I know you will all join us in wishing him all of the best for what ever his future brings and may it be a long and happy career.

As we prepare for tonight’s private dining experience, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to share one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at DN1.

This evening, Marcus and Alex will be bringing the DN1 experience into the comfort of a clients home, transforming their dining room into a private fine dining restaurant for the evening.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, hosting an intimate dinner party, or simply looking to enjoy an exceptional dining experience with family and friends, we create bespoke experiences tailored entirely to you.

Led by Marcus Ashton-Simpson, Head Chef of our 2 AA Rosette-awarded restaurant, every menu is thoughtfully curated and prepared with the same creativity, precision and attention to detail that define the DN1 experience.

Alongside Marcus, Alex provides our signature front-of-house service throughout the evening welcoming guests, serving each course, managing drinks service and ensuring every detail is taken care of, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience from start to finish.

From the first glass poured to the final course served, our aim is to bring the luxury, theatre and hospitality of a fine dining restaurant into the comfort of your own home.

We’re looking forward to another special evening and creating more unforgettable memories around the table.
