Opening in early October, Wild Restaurant will celebrate British produce and regenerative farming while adhering to zero-waste principles.
The restaurant will get most of its produce from a farm, also called Wild, just up the road.
Dishes will include flatbread with shrimps and spiced butter; mackerel with beetroot and lemonade; barbecue quail with mushroom; pork tomahawk with apple and mustard; and white and dark chocolate with sorrel.
The front of house team will include former The Fat Duck and Le Gavroche sommelier Rémi Cousin and GM Laeticia Valentini whose CV includes both front and back of house at Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons.
Larcombe’s head chef will be Charlie Hitchcock, who has cooked at Hedone and Roux at Parliament Square.
“I cannot wait to get started at Wild. The space is beautiful, and Berkhamsted is beguilingly quaint yet classy. It feels like the right location for what I’m ready to cook next in my career,” Larcombe says.
Wild Restaurant will open on 3 October.
