Spring produce tasting
What a fantastic evening we had celebrating the best of the spring produce. It was a sell out and more importantly it was great fun. We tasted loads of food, managed to hold a bit of a quiz in the middle and consumed a fair amount of wine along the way. It kind of had the feeling of being at a wedding, we will certainly be looking to host more events like this. Watch this space.

An Evening with Gregg
We hosted our first Evening with Gregg at Wallace & Co last night. It was a celebration of the finest spring produce from Secretts Farm: asparagus with hollandaise and an asparagus tart to start with, then a selection of different tomato varieties with some gazpacho, followed by corn fed baby chicken in a broth with peas, broad beans, baby turnips and cornish early potatoes and finished with strawberries and a strawberry pannacotta. Gregg introduced each course, did a Q&A on Masterchef and generally charged around like he owns the place – which of course he does, so fair enough. Craig the chef did a great job with the food and from the reactions we had on the night (and in the Twitterverse) it looks like an excellent evening was enjoyed by all. I’ve posted some pictures here: www.flickr.com/photos/46676971@N08/sets/72157624045018650/show/.
We’re looking forward to doing another one soon, so sign up to our email newsletter if you want to be the first to know.
