A few years ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Head Chef’s dad into the kitchen at The Fat Duck. He got to see what Karl’s role really involves and even had a pretty good go at plating Sound of the Sea.

Two years later, Karl’s a dad himself, and it was his twin sons visiting him at work. But more than anything Karl showed them, they seemed most fascinated by our pass ducks.

They’re probably still wondering why their dad keeps toys at work.

In the 1890s, Rowntree & Co. launched Ox chocolate, describing it as “pleasant, palatable and sustaining”. Made from the finest chocolate blended with concentrated meat extract, it was marketed as being “especially suitable for travellers, cyclists and invalids”.

It wasn’t a hit, and Rowntree soon withdrew it. But at The Fat Duck, Heston believed a beef-boosted chocolate could actually be delicious — not to mention pleasant, palatable, and sustaining.

So began the development of a recipe using Wagyu consommé. Ox chocolate later appeared as part of The Fat Duck’s ‘Like a Kid in a Sweet Shop’ course, and last year our team took the idea in a new direction.

That’s how the Moos Bar was born. Created especially for our online shop, it’s a chocolate bar that makes you go mooooo(re please).

Our team has been busy bees… or rather paddling ducks… so The Fat Duck will be taking a little summer break from 3rd to 11th August.

For those who find themselves in the area during that time, and find themselves hungry and/or thirsty and/or missing Heston’s magic, we warmly invite you to visit our sister establishment, The Hind's Head.

In the meantime, we're open Wednesday to Sunday, with bookings available now through to the end of August.

Specially collected in Cornwall by our supplier, Annie, these little treasures provide a vital splash of salty seawater as one of the unique elements of The Sound of the Sea.

Originally from South Africa, our jellybeans are often found growing alongside their larger relative, the Hottentot fig, on coastal walls and cliffs.

Find out more in the letter we received from Annie.
