As we prepare for tonight’s private dining experience, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to share one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at DN1.

This evening, Marcus and Alex will be bringing the DN1 experience into the comfort of a clients home, transforming their dining room into a private fine dining restaurant for the evening.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, hosting an intimate dinner party, or simply looking to enjoy an exceptional dining experience with family and friends, we create bespoke experiences tailored entirely to you.

Led by Marcus Ashton-Simpson, Head Chef of our 2 AA Rosette-awarded restaurant, every menu is thoughtfully curated and prepared with the same creativity, precision and attention to detail that define the DN1 experience.

Alongside Marcus, Alex provides our signature front-of-house service throughout the evening welcoming guests, serving each course, managing drinks service and ensuring every detail is taken care of, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience from start to finish.

From the first glass poured to the final course served, our aim is to bring the luxury, theatre and hospitality of a fine dining restaurant into the comfort of your own home.

We’re looking forward to another special evening and creating more unforgettable memories around the table.
