Fulham FC signs top chefs for new restaurant
Premier League football club Fulham FC is continuing its efforts to enhance its food and drinks experience through a new partnership with chefs Alex Dilling and Oli Marlow.
The club, which currently sits eighth in the Premier League table, became the first in the UK to have a Tequila sponsor, and in late 2024 it announced that Bodega Argento would become its Official Argentinian Wine Partner.
This week it was revealed that Dilling, whose eponymous eatery at Hotel Café Royal currently holds two Michelin stars, and Marlow, the executive chef of Simon Rogan’s newly-relaunched Roganic Hong Kong and chef’s table experience Aulis Phuket, would be tackling the match day menu at The Gourmet.
Situated on the first floor of Fulham FC’s new The Riverside development next to the Thames, The Gourmet will offer, according to the club, “a finely crafted four-course à la carte menu – as well as fine wines, Champagne and cocktails”. Dining at the restaurant will also come with seats in Craven Cottage’s Riverside Stand, close to the pitch where the Lilywhites will be playing.

Speaking with The Standard, Marlow revealed that he is in fact a “lifelong” FFC fan and called his involvement with the new restaurant “an absolute honour”.
“I’m excited to contribute to the match-day experience for fans and I’m committed to achieving just as much success off the pitch as the team delivers on it,” continued Marlow.
“Fulham is putting something truly special on the table, both in the Premier League and in the kitchen, and I’m excited to be part of a team that’s as ambitious about their food as they are their football,” added Dilling.
