14 | LUXlife Magazine Best Luxury Restaurant 2025 – Dorset The level of skill, creativity, and innovation across the county is higher than ever, proving that Dorset has firmly established itself as a destination for serious food lovers. However, after extensive deliberation, one name stood above the rest. For the second consecutive year, The Lord Bute has claimed the title, an accolade that speaks to its unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and impeccable presentation. Dorset’s fine dining scene has never been more vibrant, with world-class restaurants pushing the boundaries of culinary excellence, setting new standards, and redefining the dining experience. Bradley Green’s culinary journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a reputation built on precision, creativity, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence, it is no surprise that his restaurant has garnered such acclaim. Holding two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, Green has not only mastered the art of refined dining but has continued to innovate, delivering dishes that astonish and delight in equal measure. His 10-course tasting menu is a masterpiece, with highlights such as Sauté Foie Royale, Chicken Croustillant en Couches with Lavender Smoked Pear Jam, and a daring Black Pepper Sorbet with Sea Salt Foam – dishes that encapsulate the sophistication and ingenuity that make The Lord Bute a true culinary destination. Bradley Green’s journey to this point has been as fascinating as it has been impressive. His early career saw him helm the award-winning Green’s Steakhouse, which quickly grew to six restaurants across London, earning a stellar reputation and a host of industry accolades. In 2021, Green made the strategic decision to sell the group, paving the way for his expansion into Dorset, where he would go on to establish The Lord Bute as the pinnacle of fine dining in the region. Now, having firmly cemented his status as one of the most talented and visionary chefs in the country, Green is embarking on an exciting new venture – Harveys. Set to open soon in Westbourne, Harveys will see Green return to his roots, drawing inspiration from the classic French cooking that first ignited his passion in the kitchen. While it will not be a fine dining establishment in the traditional sense, it promises to bring the same meticulous attention to detail, bold flavors, and artistry that have become his signature. The anticipation surrounding this new venture is palpable, and if his track record is anything to go by, Harveys will undoubtedly become an essential dining destination in its own right. Beyond his own remarkable career, Bradley Green’s story carries an additional layer of prestige. He is the son of Mick Green, the legendary guitarist who played alongside Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, and Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Mick’s influence on the music industry was profound, inspiring generations of musicians, including Pete Townshend and Wilko Johnson. Just as his father left an indelible mark on the world of music, Bradley has carved out his own legacy – only his stage is the kitchen, and his instrument is the plate. At LUXlife Leaders in Luxury Awards, we do not bestow accolades lightly. The Lord Bute has once again proven that it stands above the rest, not just for its flawless execution but for its ability to continually evolve and redefine what fine dining means in Dorset. With Bradley Green at the helm, the restaurant continues to offer a dining experience that is as elegant as it is exciting, as refined as it is inventive. As we celebrate this well-earned victory, all eyes now turn to Harveys and, if history is any indication, we are about to witness yet another culinary triumph from a chef who has already given so much to the world of gastronomy.
