TASTE OF WALES SPECIAL GOURMET BREAK
Wales is a country of rolling hills, bubbling brooks, rugged mountains, lush green valleys, sunny peaceful hamlets – not least this one – and breath-taking coasts. The fields are alive with pedigree sheep and cattle, the rocky coastline is teeming with some of the world’s most delicious seafood, the climate gives us real flavour in our fruit and proper taste in our vegetables, delicious Celtic Pride beef and award winning wines. We’ll seek out the best of Wales to impress you!
BRITISH GAME WEEK
The Ceiriog Valley has had a special reputation for top quality game since Edwardian times and our chefs focus on this during “British Game Week” (usually in November) with a special menu for those who enjoy a variety of game (and sometimes local trout too for a little variety!) in various forms including roasts, pies, sausages, burgers and charcuterie.
RIOJAN DINNER GOURMET BREAKS
In Spanish culture it is tradition to host parties and festivals in both Spring and Autumn; our Head Chef Tom really enjoys Spanish food and is planning to focus on this with special menus for those who enjoy Mediterranean style food. Previously this has included Paella and Gazpacho, Mussels, Lodosa Pepper-stuffed Cod and Jamon Iberico. We’ll add some Tapas before the gourmet dinner and perhaps a little Cava too!
BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU!
Beaujolais Nouveau Day is marked in France on the third Thursday in November with fireworks, music and festivals. Under French law, the wine is released just weeks after the wine’s grapes have been harvested. Parties are held throughout the country and further afield to celebrate the first wine of the season. Whilst we can’t promise Nouveau wine we can definitely arrange another special Gourmet break including a superb French-style Dinner with selected Wines from France.
