A New Partnership at Horizon 22…

Searcys is proud to announce a new partnership with Michelin-starred chef Alex Dilling, bringing his refined approach to fine dining to events at Horizon 22.

Designed for both receptions and seated occasions, the menu features a curated selection of canapés and bowl dishes that balance luxury with approachability.

Guests can expect dishes such as lobster brioche with charred lemon and basil, buttermilk fried chicken with Stilton crème fraîche and celery, olive oil–poached cod with fregola sarda and shellfish, and beef cheek bourguignon served with pomme purée and smoked Alsace bacon. Each dish has been carefully considered to deliver exceptional flavour while working seamlessly in an events setting.
