Episode 6 is with the gregarious visionary, James Bulmer, an entrepreneur and restauranteur. James is also the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Wonderland Restaurants, a portfolio of restaurants that offer immersive and multi sensory dining experiences.

Earlier in 2020, James and his team partnered with Warner Brothers to create the first of Wonderland’s Restaurants, Park Row, which opens in London 2021.

James has formed a team who are top in the world at their craft - from leading chemical engineers, to Michelin Starred chefs and even Britain’s most famous illusionist, in order to bring their vision to life.

We discuss pushing the boundaries of culinary and dining experiences, the importance of storytelling and day dreaming, creating drinks that levitate and edible helium balloons at Michelin Starred restaurants, schools and institutions dismissing creativity, partnering with Warner Brothers and society’s collective fear of failure.

James is a true innovator and dreamer. Hope you enjoy hearing from him as much as I did.
