Bristol chef Larkin Cen is bringing his Blue Planet Hot Pot to the people of Bristol for a very limited number of evenings after receiving a 10/10 for the dish during his time on BBC Two show Great British Menu. Diners who book one of just 24 spots per evening at Woky Ko on Queen’s Road will be immersed in the dish’s ethos of collaboration and bringing people together, as they indulge in an intimate dining experience centred around the David Attenborough-inspired special.
The hotpot will be the main course of a tasting menu dining experience offered on selected evenings throughout July and August, prepared by Larkin Cen himself. There will also be an optional wine or beer pairing throughout the evening.
Presented on the ‘Blue Planet’ lazy Susan prop, which garnered great acclaim following Larkin’s appearance on the show, tables of six will dine together to taste the barbecued tender lamb shoulder Szechuan hotpot. Made using between 25-30 individual Chinese spices, the dish is accompanied by delicate handmade ramen noodles.
