He said: “We wanted to put the English restaurant into Singapore. They want to see the dishes that we do in Cornwall.”
Singapore is one of the world’s major commercial hubs, with the fourth biggest financial centre and one of the five busiest ports. Nathan was keen to express that 4XFOUR, as well as the commercial benefits, has presented a chance to visit this remarkable city-state.
He said: “I want to go and see what Singapore’s all about. I know plenty of chefs who’ve said it was a good thing to do, good fun and good for business. I’m in a position where I can semi-close the restaurant and take a lot of the guys with me. It’s nice to do things like this, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of us.”
After this year's successes Nathan is keen to reward his team for all their recent hard work and it's not the first time they've ventured overseas.
“In March we took some guys to the Melbourne food festival," explained Nathan. "We enjoyed it so much and the guys got so much from it that I thought, if we’ve got time, it’s a nice thing to do to reward the guys for all their hard work.”
4XFOUR is a sit-down dining affair in a casual and fun setting. Guests will be able to experience exquisite brunch and dinner menus. The dining hall will also feature art installations and an extensive drinks menu. Nathan Outlaw will be hoping to join the likes of Tom Kerridge and Jason Atherton in taking his success to Singapore.
