Heston to bring Fat Duck to Melbourne for 6 months

[Mal]

He had a lot of press in London over this 'move' (cough, publicity stunt). Good luck to him and all that get to visit the Melbourne Fat Duck.

 

[Cynicor]

I'd be keen. Wasn't able to get into the UK one, but I figured out how to get a table online afterwards

 

[Cynicor]

Ballot open for Melbourne.

I'd be interested in joining anyone who puts in for a table of 4 if you need an extra or 2, and I'll probably be doing the same if I get a few expressions of interest in a 4.

Cheers.

I've entered the ballot ..... we have friends that want to attend. If we secure a spot and they pull out - I'll give you a shout.

Went for the chef's table for either lunch or dinner - good luck!

I've entered the ballot, happy to share a table.

Same ...

Perfect, hopefully we get a few tables between us. There's actually only one of me, but I'll find someone to bring to make up numbers.

It seems that you cannot specify your preferred date on the ballot...is that right? So if successful, you will be given a random date for dinner, which can't be changed?

I think so, but hopefully there's enough of us getting bookings that we will be able to sort something out. Head on over to Facebook kpc as TheWinchester is compiling a spreadsheet as we speak

Have registered also

Pretty rubbish for those of us who dont live in Melbourne and would want to arrange around a weekend. I think I'll be waiting for it to become "Dinner".

Clearly Heston appreciates that Melbourne is better than Sydney

Or Crown just made a better offer!

I can't justify the price (around $1500 AUD for two) this time around, having been to Bray recently.
