"Platter" is too modest a word for the glorious mountain of delectable morsels piled high on an ice-laden dish. Sharing is definitely required, and even a team of two would be hard-pressed to consume the lot. From exotic fruits and sorbets, to the more adventurous hokkaido cheesecake with robata nashi pear, you’re in for an absolute treat.

Few can resist this mouth-watering combination of marshmallow, chocolate and biscuit - especially when you get to be in charge of ratios.

We want s’more!

You’re going to want to have your Boomerang app set to roll with this one. Trust Bob Bob Ricard to bring a little drama to the table, and in this case it comes in the form of golden chocolate orb. A pot of melted hot chocolate is generously poured over until the orb yields, revealing oozing chunks of brownie, chocolate mousse, berries, and a passionfruit jelly.

Heston loves to do things a bit differently, and this special dessert is a source of joy for non-chocolate lovers. Tipsy Cake’s special ingredient is a spit roast pineapple - you’ll be served a generous strip of rich, sticky pineapple alongside a caramelised brioche cake. Haute tip: the dish is served steaming hot and made to order, so opt in with your starter.
