Known for his simple and seasonal approach to cooking, Ben played an integral part in creating the menus for both Station 169 and Collage Restaurant, stating “I love getting creative with the produce available in each season. For both restaurant offerings, we wanted to keep the dishes simple yet full of flavour and to offer guests that traditional home cooked style.” Anglo-American Dining at Station 169 Named after Stansted Airport’s fascinating history as the site of the United States Army Air Force Base during WWII, Station 169 serves traditional and sophisticated Anglo-American cuisine. Ben and his culinary team have put together a decadent menu offering an eclectic mix of popular American and British dishes, in a nod towards Stansted’s historical heritage.
