Flames & Flavour: A One-Night-Only NOM NOM Takeover with Paul Bentley & Will Meyrick

There are some culinary nights you mark in your calendar the moment you hear whispers of them. This is one of those nights. 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. It’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 Bentley’s first Bali appearance at Buzo Seminyak in Volume V, now is your chance to witness the return of a chef who doesn’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 Manhattan’s Daniel, to shaking up Mexico’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 VII will be the kind of night you’ll talk about long after the last glass is poured.
