Chef's table dining experience

Celebrated chef Robert Taylor will be cooking privately for you, his select guests and no others, without any of the usual distractions found in a commercial kitchen. Robert was awarded UK Chef of the Year in 2008 by the Chaine de Rotisseurs. He trained under Head Chef, Simon Crannage in the award winning restaurant at Swinton Park, and is Rosemary's assistant chef during all of her courses.

The guests will have his undivided attention and will be able to converse with him throughout the evening should they choose, with plenty of tips and suggestions up his sleeve for those wanting to take some home with them.

The Menu du Jour meal will start with an introduction by Robert to the ingredients selected for that evening's meal and the dishes he will be preparing, during which time champagne and canapés will be served. Robert will then demonstrate each course as the guests observe which will then be served to them at the demonstration table.

Price includes food, welcome drinks and canapes - but further wine and drinks will be extra.
