PAUL BENTLEY CHEF COLLAB AT HONEY & SMOKE

There are some culinary nights you mark in your calendar the moment you hear whispers of them. This is one of those nights.

NOM NOM Vol.8ย | HONEY & SMOKE | 9 MAY 2025

On May 9th, 2025, the ever-inventive NOM NOM Kitchen Takeover returns for its eighth edition, this time lighting up the wood fire at Honey & Smoke in Ubud with none other than Chef Paul Bentley and Chef Will Meyrick behind the pass. This is not just a dinner. Itโ€™s a rare meeting of two culinary heavyweights, each with their own unmistakable rhythm, cooking side by side for just one night.

If you missed Chef Bentleyโ€™s first Bali appearance at Buzo Seminyak in Volume 5, now is your chance to witness the return of a chef who doesnโ€™t just follow the rules, he rewrites them. Named Chef of the Year 2024 by the West Australian Good Food Guide, Bentley brings a portfolio rich with global experience. From staging at Manhattanโ€™s Daniel, to shaking up Mexicoโ€™s fine dining scene with celebrated restaurants like Magno Brasserie and Mi Amor, and now helming Casa in Perth, a restaurant praised for its genre-defying dishes that are as clever as they are craveable.

Together, Bentley and Meyrick are crafting a collaborative menu that celebrates the soul of cooking: fire, story, and generosity. Expect dishes that blur borders, lean into nostalgia, and carry the signature mark of two chefs who know exactly who they are.

This one-night-only takeover promises offers a seat at the table for something unrepeatable, and perhaps unforgettable. For lovers of exceptional food, considered technique, and a touch of culinary theatre, NOM NOM Volume 8 will be the kind of night youโ€™ll talk about long after the last glass is poured.
Limited seats available.
Reserve early, this one will go fast.
