Adam Handling MBE said: “I’ve always believed the most exciting things in this industry happen when you cook alongside people who see food in a completely different way to you.

“This series is about exactly that. Bringing together chefs I genuinely admire and letting those different perspectives, backgrounds and styles collide in six exclusive menus with some of my friends and legends in the industry, bringing together nine Michelin Stars between us.

“This time we’re doing three dinners at Ugly Butterfly and three at Frog, to make it a little easier for guests to join us wherever they are in the country. It’s going to be amazing and something guests hopefully won’t forget anytime soon.”

Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling received its first Michelin Star in January 2026. Part of the wider Adam Handling Collection, it’s known for its commitment to exceptional produce, creativity and immersive dining, with magnificent coastal views out to Fistral Bay.
