Heston Blumenthal, Chef Patron of The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, one of just a handful of restaurants worldwide to have three Michelin stars, has been awarded an OBE by Her Majesty The Queen, in the New Years Honours List. After a tremendous year of accolades culminating in the Fat Duck being voted The Best Restaurant in the World by a poll of over 600 food critics and journalists globally, Blumenthal looks set to begin 2006 on the same prestigious note. The self-taught chef also has the neighbouring Hinds Head Hotel.
