With eight years of incredible chefs now under our belt, we’re rapidly becoming a very special location, for some very special food. You can explore the line-up for 2024 below but keep your eyes peeled for more coming soon.
About The Guest Chef Series
From Masterchef competitors, to Great British Menu winners, we've had an incredible array of talent through our doors recently. Whether or not you're set on always keeping on trend with the latest food scene, our Guest Chef Series allows you to push the boundaries of your palette.
HOW IT ALL WORKS
During June, September and October, we host the very best of the food scene. We’re lucky enough to be able to facilitate almost all styles of cooking using produce local to the island of Zakynthos. Previous talent includes Jackson Boxer, Robin Gill and Thomasina Miers to name but a few.
Each Guest Chef will host two events during their week’s residency. The first will be an evening feast – think long-table dining, like-minded company and indulgent food. The second is typically a pop-up, where the Guest Chef will showcase their food in a street-food style.
The joy of it all? These are menus you’ll never see again. Completely unique to both the chef, and to Peligoni.
