christmas week fat duck

Does anyone know if Fat Duck is open between Christmas and New Year's Eve. I don't have an email address for them.

    Can't vouch for this year but it was certainly closed last year (2007). Hinds Head Hotel was open, but not the Fat Duck.

      The website is http://www.fatduck.co.uk/. It has directions about reservations and notes that they are only taken two months in advance. It has contact phone numbers in case that helps. I'm sorry - don't know about the holidays, but I'm sure they'll tell you.

        I have a distant memory that Heston closes down over Christmas for a couple of weeks as he like to spend time at home. I don't know if he does this every year.

          Looks like we have confirmation below. He's a wise man to take time off. Maybe he'll need rest time after being host at the Great British Menu do in June. :-)
