The fields are gathered, the orchards are heavy, and September is golden.
This is the season of plenty: bubbling pots, roasted roots, slow-roasted meats, fruit pies and autumnal spices.
We’ll fill the tables in the Music Room with the very best of Norfolk’s harvest and invite you to feast, share, and raise a glass to the turning year.
In the spirit of tradition, we’d love for you to bring a donation for the Norwich Food Bank so that we can all help to feed even more people this autumn. The Food Bank needs tinned vegetables, tinned meat, tinned fruit, pasta sauce, milk (UHT), long-life fruit juice, teabags (40s), rice pudding, tinned tomatoes and wrapped chocolate bars such as Penguins.
Who knows...we might even persuade you to sing-along to a harvest festival hymn!
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.
