A true professional will carry on, regardless of the lateness of the night before. Otto had a show and he had no intention of letting us down. And so it was that I had one of the defining lunches of my life, in the very best company. Pressed lobster is a lesson in squeezing every last morsel of flavour out of a magnificent beast. Serendipity smiled and we sat next to one of his wine suppliers whose generosity only served to add to the magic of the afternoon. I don’t want to list every course, what I do want to do is persuade you to book. Avoid reading all the reviews and spoiling the surprise. The next time you’d like a performance with your lobster, go and see Otto. He’s the master showman.
