Our kitchen garden has been managed over the last seven years to produce the
freshest organic produce for banquets and fine dining in the best of British traditional cooking. In 2010 we shall be running a series of banquets designed by Slow Food members Gastronomer Thomas Bean and Medical Herbalist Lara Bernays to bring you an evening to enrich your life, with a fusion of carefully selected and combined ingredients, enriched with herbs and spices. To Tom food is about flavour, seasons and culture. To Lara food is chemistry, a medicine chest there to be used to heal and cure. Together they aim to inspire a greater connection with food, the land it comes from and the body we put it into. The first Four Seasons Banquet will be on April 3rd.
We are also
committed to bringing the exotic dishes from outside these islands
to our little corner or West Wales. Our very successful Tuscan
Banquet was followed by an equally successful Moroccan supper with
a sumptuous display of dancing in between courses.
Also due in 2010 is an evening of Anglo Indian food featured in the novel Mrs D'Silva's Detective Instincts by Glen Peters.
Those who attended the launch of the book in July 2009 enjoyed some of the dishes and this banquet has been designed especially for those who enjoyed the unusual dishes not normally available in your average Tandoori House.
The dishes
served in Mrs D'Silva's Railway Banquet will be part of a
4 course extravagant experience. These were the dishes that the
author experienced in his childhood growing up in a railway colony
near Calcutta and handed down in a rich culinary tradition blending
East and West. As with all our banquets the intervals between each
course will be interspersed with entertainment of short talks on
the cuisine. Mrs D'Silva's Railway Banquet is on the
6th March. Bookings can be made for all these events
directly via our web site. These are highly popular events so book
early.
More regularly our café is open on all our open days and our chef cooks the most delicious light lunches and deserts. Many of our concerts too have a dining option and you can always check if this available for the evening.
