Gok Wan has fronted the opening of a table-less restaurant – where diners are served their food from the floor.
The TV star and chef is inviting foodies to step out of their culinary comfort zone, with multi-course fine dining, inspired by modern Asian cuisine, served on the immaculate vinyl surface, right next to their feet.
The eatery – named FLOORS – has opened in London’s Angel, Islington, giving curious foodies the chance to devour the menu from the ground.
Hungry folks can nibble on a tasting menu which includes lychee ceviche, served in a chilled oyster shell, lotus leaf steamed meats, with black bean peppered beef, duck, and oyster mushroom and black sesame mochi cake with fuyu sour cream and an edible rice paper receipt.
The eatery was created by Bosch after a poll of 2,000 adults revealed 75 per cent would never eat food that had fallen on the floor in a restaurant.
But an adventurous 23 per cent would consider dining somewhere food was served off the floor if they could see proof of hygiene.
Gok Wan said: "I’d eat most things off the floor – in five seconds - if I knew how clean the floor was, unless it was soup.”

00:01You've got to eat what you preach.
00:09Hello you. Come on in then.
00:17So I'm working very closely with Bosch to turn the tables on you lot.
00:21You are a hard no when it comes to ground level gourmet.
00:24Do not film my feet. I have terrible feet.
00:27You are very very lucky because Bosch and I are personally inviting you to the launch of their unlimited ten.
00:32Where the only way is up. I mean down. Basically you're going to eat off the floor.
00:37Hello.
00:43Right so here's the thing. Many of us would not eat food if it's falling on the floor.
00:48Especially in a restaurant. But personally I'm not that fussy. You might be able to tell.
00:57My floors are spotless. Thanks very much for asking.
01:00I would eat most things off the floor in five seconds if I knew how clean the floor was.
01:05Unless it was soupy.
01:09I have never eaten off the floor before so this is my first time.
01:13I've had such a great day here at Floors by Bosch.
01:15It's been impeccably hosted by Got One. I've just really enjoyed the food here.
01:20I have loved being the host at Floors today and I'll tell you why.
01:24It's because everyone's sat on the floor and I'm stood up so I feel really powerful.
01:27Can you lift your legs up?
