Last Supper

So how would you start?
Watermelon martini.

With a drink like that you must be somewhere hot?
Indeed. On the beach at Carlisle Bay, Antigua. Arriving by speedboat.

Which chef would you ask to do the honours?
Tim Hughes of Caprice Holdings, because he is simply the best.

You would know. On to business: for the man who's seen a million dinners, what's on the menu? Six fines de claires oysters, grilled mahi mahi with mango salsa, iced berries with hot white chocolate sauce.

Suitably exotic. The bread? Walnut bread from the bakery at Selfridges.

And the wine? Chablis premier cru.

Who would be joining you for the final send-off? Sir Paul Smith, Gordon Campbell Gray, Roderick Gilchrist, Scott Malkin, Robin Morgan, Philip Kingsley, Barbara Thomas, Ann Sadler, Sarah Miller, Lady Bernstein, Anita Land and Lucy Yeomans.

And the special two to place beside you? Philip Kingsley and Ann Sadler.

What about atmosphere - Any music? Yes, Für Elise by Beethoven, played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.

Elegance, indeed. Does that follow through to the flowers? White orchids - for their simplicity and beauty.

And the threads? Cream linen shirt and trousers - no socks or shoes.

Which critic would you ban at the door? Michael Winner.

Of course - you and the rest of the world. Seems you have universal taste. How about an after-dinner speaker? Christopher Biggins.

Mmmm. Maybe not. Any other entertainment? Perhaps a classical pianist.

That's better. Coffee and petits fours? Yes, Colombian roasted accompanied by Le Caprice cookies.

Anything more? Vintage port and Stilton.

And is there a dish associated with you that you'd like us to remember you by? Eggs Benedict.
