The incredibly popular French-English two-star Michelin chefs Michel Roux Jr and his father Albert Roux have teamed up with Epsom Downs Racecourse to produce ‘Chez Roux on the Prince’s Lawn’ at the world-renowned Investec Derby Festival on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th June.
The outstanding father and son combination, synonymous with the very best in fine dining, and who own and run the famous London restaurant Le Gavroche, are pleased to confirm the extension of their involvement with Jockey Club Racecourses, following on from announcing their presence at The Cheltenham Festival.
Exclusive menu
Chez Roux on the Prince’s Lawn will bring a bistro inspired offer to the two day festival. Albert and Michel will produce a menu created exclusively for the Princes Lawn with a series of signature dishes. Guests will be able to enjoy a 3 course meal including dishes such as English Asparagus, Hen Egg, Feta Cheese, Aubergine Caviar and Truffle Dressing, followed by Assiette du bouché – Roast fillet of beef with mushroom, pork belly with apple sauce, venison sausage with mash potato and onion gravy, lamb chop with ratatouille or the choice of a Plateau de fruits de mer.
The restaurant is one of the most sought after restaurants during the Investec Derby Festival due to the far reaching views of the racecourse. Prices start at £549 per person + VAT.
Albert Roux commented, “I am delighted to be involved with the Investec Derby as this race meeting is a major part of the British social calendar, and I feel immensely proud to be showcasing our food at this prestigious event.”
Rupert Trevelyan, Regional Director of London Racecourses, said: “We are very excited to be working alongside two outstanding Michelin starred chefs to provide an additional dimension to the creative thinking behind the Investec Derby menu development.”
