Experiences
Supper Club March - The Hungry Gap
GBP 60.00 per person
Prepaid
26 Mar 2025 only7:00 pmCreativity, flexibility and preservation come into play during the Hungry gap; a term given by growers to the period after winter and before Spring really begins when the first of the green vegetables start to flourish. Preservatives, cures and smoking are a cooks best friend. Join us as we explore what can be done to keep our larder stocked, and our taste buds excited in this challenging dearth. Join us for our monthly Wednesday Supper Club, a themed tasting experience that celebrates great food.
Supper Club April - Spring Lamb and Green Veg
GBP 60.00 per person
Prepaid
30 Apr 2025 only7:00 pmSpring has sprung! Wonderful English lamb and suckling pigs start to show at market and asparagus and beans become ripe for the picking. Easter beckons and optimism reigns supreme. Herring are at one of their two annual peaks and Oysters start to lose their milky flesh. Weather permitting, anything may be on offer! Join us for our monthly Wednesday Supper Club, a themed tasting experience that celebrates great food.
Supper Club May - Game Over, Garden Open
GBP 60.00 per person
Prepaid
28 May 2025 only7:00 pmFallow Deer season ends on 30th April, so we salute this wonderful venison as another season closes. But as one door closes, another opens. Shellfish & Wild Bass are in-and the garden is really starting to show its paces. Rhubarb, beans, peas and seed potatoes such as the mighty Jersey Royal come into their finest. Join us for our monthly Wednesday Supper Club, a themed tasting experience that celebrates great food.
