"He is very fun, but he's crazy, so I go in with the mental preparation of knowing something will change. I was so nervous back then. I was in the kitchen days ahead of time trying to prepare. It's no stress for me whatsoever anymore."
"I asked if I could go along and Wolfgang said 'Yes, why not?' Fast forward to 2026, and it's a given that the London-born chef is on the line up. I just keep going along."
"I'll find everything out tomorrow morning. I'm gonna enjoy it and that's it - there's no point worrying about it. While the final menu might be up in the air until the last minute, what Grover does know is that fish and chips will once again be on it."
The Oscars 2026 ceremony takes place March 15 at the Dolby Theater, followed by the Grosvenor Ball afterparty. The head chef from London's Cut at 45 Park Lane, a sister restaurant to The Dorchester, will prepare the meal for the fourth consecutive year under the direction of Wolfgang Puck, who has led the Grosvenor Ball menu since 1994. The chef approaches the event with calm confidence after years of experience, arriving just two days before the ceremony without a detailed plan. Fish and chips will remain a signature dish on the menu, as it has been every year. The chef's journey began with bold initiative when he simply asked Puck if he could participate, and has since become an established part of the prestigious event.
