Blumenthal’s Summer Time features fresh wild strawberries, strawberries macerated in long pepper sugar under vacuum, pickled green strawberries in elderflower, a strawberry, red wine, orange blossom and olive oil dressing, black olive and leather purée, crystallised pistachio ‘soil’ and a caramel-tuile-topped pistachio scrambled egg.

The new dish is available on the à la carte menu at his three-Michelin-Star restaurant, The Fat Duck. The à la carte menu is priced at £195 for lunch and £225 for dinner.

The Fat Duck opened in the village of Bray in Berkshire on 16 August 1995, so it is currently celebrating its 30th birthday – three decades at the forefront of British cuisine.

He said: “This year’s weather means the strawberry crop has been fantastic: bigger and sweeter than they have been for many years. Which inspired me to develop a dish that not only explored the full potential of this fruit in a variety of forms – but also captured a sense of British summertime nostalgia, which for me is all about strawberries and Wimbledon tennis and other summer sports, especially cricket.”
