If this wasn’t enough culinary temptation, Taste of London can reveal that The Secret Garden will be open at the restaurant festival in London’s Regent’s Park between 21^st and 24th June.

The Secret Garden is the most glamorous place to dine this summer and a rare opportunity to get backstage access to some of the world’s best chefs including Ashley Palmer-Watts (Dinner), Jason Atherton (Pollen Street Social) and Jacob Kenedy (Bocca di Lupo) to name but a few.
