We will be putting together a six-course taster menu featuring the New Forest’s best ingredients in conjunction with a lively discussion amongst the producers themselves on the benefits of sourcing locally. Moreover guests will be encouraged to participate in the discussion through questions or insights of their own. This promises to be an evening that will not only excite the taste buds, but also stimulate the thought process.
