A Chef's World - Maison, Wrecclesham: A Restaurant and a Home

par Michelin Restaurants

Ben Piette and Lornette Piette-Valentine’s restaurant is a homely, welcoming place – and that’s largely down to the fact that they really are inviting you into their home. As Lornette says, "We're not living above a restaurant, we've built a restaurant in our home – and you're not customers coming to a restaurant, you're guests coming into our home”. With just 16 diners – 12 in the main room and 4 at “Ben’s Table” – there’s an intentional dinner party atmosphere. Guests are welcome to look around and interact with one another over drinks, and the evening’s menu is a surprise, with Ben enjoying the freedom to be creative and work with the latest seasonal ingredients to arrive at his door. Lornette’s bubbly character makes her the perfect hostess, as she chats away to one and all in the main room, while Ben constantly interacts with the guests in front of him as he cooks on one half of the chef’s table. With only two of them running the place, decisions can be made in the spur of a moment, so you’ll find some original cocktails and dishes with a personal twist – including things that were never planned to be featured before the start of service.
