WITH 2 COURSE DINNER

£24 per person

Most people love chocolate but know very little about it or how it is made into the tasty treats they eat. But there’s more to chocolate than meets the eye (and mouth)! Let Jon guide you through the history and mythology of chocolate. You’ll also taste a range of different types of chocolate from mass produced, through to coverture and single origin, learning how to taste it properly using your senses and comparing chocolate made with cocoa from around the world. Towards the end of the evening you’ll be given a selection of Jon’s handmade chocolates to enjoy.

Thursday 7 December 2017 Enjoy a delicious 2 course dinner then sit back and relax as your host for the evening, chocolatier Jon Collins, takes you on a journey through the world of chocolate.

y Call M Quaff uiz Q e n i W WITH LIGHT SUPPER

£18 per person

Thursday 21 December 2017 Join us for an evening of ‘Call My Quaff’, a lighthearted take on the TV panel game show ‘Call My Bluff’ but with wine!

Bar opens at 7pm Light supper served at 7.30pm Entertainment from 8pm To book contact our events team on 01482 465341 or [email protected]

The aim of the game is to match the wine with the correct description. Can you identify the difference in bouquet between a Merlot and a Pinot Noir? Can you tell your Chardonnay from a cheeky little Sauvignon? Two panellists will describe the wine in front of you but only one description will be the correct one for the wine in the glass; the other will be totally false and full of red herrings! A fun way to test your knowledge on wine, as well as sampling some great varieties! This event is not to be taken too seriously but, for the intrepid winning table, there will be a prize!

LIGHT SUPPER Homemade Lasagne Served with salad, coleslaw and garlic bread

The House of Townend was established in 1906 in Yorkshire and has remained in the ownership of the same family for over 100 years. They work hard at being at the cutting edge of the wine world, seeking out new star performers. House of Townend wines are therefore individual and handcrafted, providing quality and great taste.
