The collaboration marks the launch of Ascend – by Alex Dilling at Horizon 22. This is Horizon 22’s first-ever partnership with a Michelin-starred chef which will run for 12 months, with the potential to extend.

Dilling’s Michelin-starred approach has shaped the menu, with a carefully crafted selection of canapés, bowl food and fine dining dishes.  

Highlights range from lobster brioche with charred lemon and basil, and buttermilk fried chicken with Stilton crème fraîche and celery, to olive oil–poached cod with fregola sarda and shellfish, and beef cheek bourguignon with pomme purée and smoked Alsace bacon.

Located on Level 58 of the City of London’s tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate, Horizon 22 is Europe’s highest free public viewing and events gallery and offers panoramic views of the city. With a capacity of up to 280 seated guests or 500 standing, Horizon 22 is a popular venue for events and gatherings.

Dilling commented "The challenge was translating the discipline of a two-Michelin-star kitchen into an events environment where consistency, speed and replication matter just as much as flavour.

“Every dish has been designed to perform operationally, holding well in service, delivering clarity of flavour at scale and allowing teams to execute with confidence, without compromising on ingredient quality or technique.”
