This week we are launching our Mid-Summer Wine Pairing Menu which will run this Thursday and every Thursday until the end of June.

This special will feature a three-course meal paired with a suitable wine.

At exceptional value, priced at 35 euro per person, this Thursday night Mid-Summer menu is perfect for date night, or a group celebration.

For those that can’t join us this Thursday or want to try it at home with friends, please find a recipe for an indulgent chocolate fondant and a suggested dessert wine to serve with it.
