Renowned for its odd menu and even odder chef, the Fat Duck has gained a huge amount of notoriety in the UK along with owner Heston Blumenthal.

With a discreet entrance and modestly furnished main restaurant, reviews of this restaurant tend not to focus on its decor.

Described as a 'culinary alchemist', the self-taught chef whose Berkshire restaurant gained three Michelin stars in 2004 has a host of unusual offerings on his menu.

Most famous for his poaching of various foods with liquid nitrogen, the menu also includes snail porridge and salmon poached with liquorice.

Blumenthal is famed for his unusual mixing of flavours, which he dubs his scientific approach to cooking.

And reviews of the Fat Duck reveal it's a bit like Marmite - people either love it or hate it.

Like Marmite, the only way to know which way you bat is to give it a try.

The Fat Duck is in Bray in Berkshire, on the edge of Maidenhead in Kent.
