FAQs

What should I wear?

There isn’t a dress code, but we suggest you might want to dress smart casual.

How many people will be at the Chef’s Table?

Typically, there are around 80 people to ensure that there is an exciting atmosphere on the day.

How long will the Chef’s Table last?

The event will last for approximately 3-4 hours. Please note that timings might run over due to unforeseen circumstances, so please be aware of this when booking taxis.

How will we be seated?

We will aim to ensure that if you are a group of 6, you will be sat on your own table. For any groups less than 6, you may find that you are on a shared table. We will have a seating plan at the entrance to the meal so that you can see where you will be sitting.

What menu will I try?

Our Executive Group Head Chef curates a stunning seasonal set menu, celebrating the finest produce and flavours of each time of year. Each menu features two starters and two mains, which are distributed evenly among guests – so you may find yourself enjoying a different dish from the person next to you. If you’re attending as a couple, you will be able to share different starters and mains, allowing you to experience both options together. To finish, all guests will be treated to a trio of desserts.

I have dietary requirements; can these be catered for?

Absolutely! We cater for all dietary requirements and just ask that you inform us of these when booking your ticket.

Will you have alcohol free drink options?

Yes, absolutely. We have paired drink options to suit both alcoholic and non-alcoholic preferences.

Can I try the wines?

During the Chef’s Table you will be presented with wines that have been perfectly paired to complement each seasonal dish.

Will the bar be open?

Yes, the bar will be open on arrival and for the duration of the meal service. The bar will close once the meal service has concluded.

Can I stay overnight?

Please let us know if you would be interested in staying overnight when booking your ticket and we will review your request.

What if I am unable to attend the Chef’s Table – will I be able to attend another?

Absolutely! We hold a Chef’s Table each season, so there is always an opportunity to book on to another event.
