Following the inaugural Ben & Friends dinner with Pierre Koffmann, 74 Charlotte Street by Ben Murphy will welcome acclaimed chef Kirk Haworth to the kitchen on Tuesday 27th October for the next instalment of its chef collaboration series.
Ben & Friends brings together chefs who have influenced, inspired and connected with Ben throughout his career for a series of exclusive one-night-only dinners. Each collaboration sees Ben and his guest chef create a menu that brings their individual cooking styles together, with further chef collaborations still to be announced.

Kirk’s creative, produce-led approach to plant-based cooking will meet Ben’s own distinctive style across a six-course menu, with each chef contributing three dishes. The collaboration follows a landmark year for Kirk, chef-patron of acclaimed London restaurant Plates and winner of Great British Menu Champion of Champions 2024.

The menu will open with Ben’s tuna with calamansi and Granny Smith, followed by Kirk’s Chioggia beetroot with green strawberry, horseradish and smoked macadamia sauce. Ben will then serve brill with brandade and roasted lemon, before Kirk presents caramelised lion’s mane with pickled cherry, cauliflower and radicchio.

For dessert, Ben will serve olive oil, vanilla and blackberry, before Kirk concludes the menu with his interpretation of the flavours of banoffee pie.

Taking place for one night only on Tuesday 27th October, the dinner is priced at £130 per person, including a glass of bubbles.

The collaboration follows Pierre Koffmann’s opening dinner in September and marks the next chapter of Ben & Friends, with further guest chefs and one-off menus set to be revealed in the coming months. Through the series, 74 Charlotte Street will continue to bring some of the industry’s most exciting and influential culinary talent together with Ben for evenings that showcase contrasting styles, shared ideas and the relationships that have shaped his career.
