The coat of arms represents the five senses, all of which Heston believes contribute to the eating experience. The hand represents touch, the apple is taste, the lyre for hearing, lavender for smell and the magnifying glass for both sight and scientific discovery. The duck alludes to Heston's famed The Fat Duck restaurant and the three roses represent the restaurant's Michelin stars.
