Tristan Mason leaves Orrery

Tristan Mason, head chef at D&D London’s Orrery, has apparently left the restaurant, Kitchen Rat has learnt.

The former Michelin-starred chef only joined the Marylebone-based restaurant last summer from the Hare in Lambourn, Berkshire (after it was sold). D&D London has remained tight-lipped about the rumour and we’re not sure where Tristan is heading to next.

The news is pretty dire for Orrery, which lost its Michelin star this year after having held it since 1999. The restaurant has had a bit of a bad run with retaining its head chefs in recent years – after André Garrett and Allan Pickett both left less than a year after each other to join the Galvin brothers’ restaurants.
