An Exclusive One-Night Dining Event with Chef Mick Binningtons
On Tuesday 1st September, we are delighted to welcome award-winning chef Mick Binnington for an exclusive one-night-only dining experience celebrating exceptional English produce, outstanding English wines and the journey of one of Britain’s most accomplished chefs. The evening begins at 6.30pm with a selection of hot and cold canapés served on the terrace, accompanied by a glass of Silver Reign NV English Sparkling Wine from Silverhand Estate, Meopham.
Complimentary Book & Signing of CHEF
A complimentary copy of Mick’s debut cookbook CHEF, with a foreword written by his former mentor Chapter One’s Andrew McLeish, will be gifted to each couple, with a signing by Mick prior to a 5-course menu featuring dishes from the book.
A Chapter One Homecoming
For Mick, this event is a true homecoming. More than twenty years ago, Mick joined Chapter One under the guidance of Andrew McLeish, arriving as a commis chef before progressing to sous chef during his four years in our kitchen.
He often describes his time at Chapter One as the place where he built the foundations of his career, learning not only the precision and craftsmanship that define great cooking, but also the values of consistency, discipline and attention to detail.

Life After Chapter One
After his time at Chapter One, Mick refined his craft alongside some of the UK’s most celebrated chefs, including Daniel Clifford at the two Michelin-starred Midsummer House, Chris Staines at the Michelin-starred Foliage at The Mandarin Oriental, and Pascal Aussignac at Club Gascon.
He later opened his own restaurant, The Windmill Chatham Green in Essex, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand within weeks of opening and retaining it throughout its lifetime. Today, Mick cooks for private and celebrity clients while hosting acclaimed Chef’s Table experiences and cookery school events in Essex.
