Join us for a Halloween feast - costumes are welcome (encouraged, even, but not obligatory) and the witching hour is guaranteed to be tasty.
We’ll start with bubbling cauldrons of velvety pumpkin and sweet potato soup, served with rosemary bread for tearing and sharing. Then comes a banquet that Bram Stoker himself might have penned: slow-cooked beef stew, cider-braised chicken with apples and thyme, woodland mushroom and chestnut pie, and bubbling autumn vegetable gratin, with all the trimmings of a harvest table.
Desserts bring the drama: rich chocolate tart with a chilli kick, jewel-like poached pears in spiced red wine, and a sticky pumpkin spice pudding drowned in toffee sauce. Finished with coffee and a little trick-or-treat to take home.
Every month, we create a line-up of fabulous food served on communal tables in our gorgeous Music Room where you share a feast and a good time while we bring out dish after dish of food. Call us to talk about dietary adaptations and whether we can fulfil them and to avoid the booking fee on 01603 626402.
