a vegan diet since 2016, his restaurant business has expanded to include Studio Gauthier and 123V Bakery at the NFI, and his newest launch of 123V in Mayfair.

January 2025 will continue with wellness and nutritional awareness on the agenda. Emily English, the noted nutritionist, both in private practice and on social media, will join Phil on January 25 for a lunch featuring a shared menu and conversation to ‘start the new year’ with healthy eating.

Commenting on the phenomenal opportunity to collaborate with these innovative and hugely talented and influential chefs, Phil stated: “It has taken me 35 years to develop a genuine appetite to engage with ‘four hands’ dinners at one of my restaurants.
“I have done many over the years, all over the world, but the time has now come to do so in my own kitchen.
“The food world has evolved so much over this same period of time that I just cannot resist the temptation to cook with some of the country’s most inspirational chefs.
“Food has moved on, cooking has moved on, and whilst my own cooking has evolved over the years, too, I find the best food out there now more exciting than ever – both from a chef’s perspective, and an eating one, too. I have chosen chefs that I respect enormously, who cook wonderful food, who respect the planet and the animals that live on it – and whose cooking will dovetail well with mine.
“I hope these events will be as invigorating and exciting for those who attend as they will be for us in the kitchen and on the floor at Elystan Street.”
This series will continue throughout 2025, with more details of collaborations to follow.
