Chef Darren Rogan said: “[The moon] is an iconic and nationally renowned art installation. To be asked to cook food for it is an enormous privilege and honour.

“Food is the way I express myself as a chef and it’s thrilling to be placed in a setting with an artist who shares my creative ambition.”

Ellen Kelman, corporate hospitality officer, said: “Luke Jerram’s installation is truly breath-taking.

“We were very excited to get the opportunity to work with a local chef and take inspiration from this artwork, to provide a unique private dining experience.”

The moon exhibition measures six metres across on the diameter and features detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface.

Each centimetre of the model represents six kilometres of the moon’s surface.
