3. Wine & Dine 

Last week we welcomed Spring with open arms as our garden came into seasonal harvest, and we launched our new spring menu. For this season's menu, Lead Chefs Jon Pryor and Rob Harrison and their team have been working closely with our gardener, Gav, to showcase the delicious produce we grow in our Kitchen Garden. 

The Cupitt family worked with the team to find the perfect wines to match the dish and highly recommend selecting this option when dining for a truly harmonious dining experience. The staff favourite was the 18-month Jamon, Pork Crackling, Fig and Truffled Mayonnaise paired with the 2021 Fiano.

Check out the menu here.
