This special evening on Tuesday 19 April from 7.30pm onwards will be hosted by Tonia Buxton the face of Greek food in the UK and presenter of the award winning ’My Greek Kitchen’ TV series.

Diners will be treated to a ‘sharing’ menu to comprise of deconstructed Greek Salad, Grilled Octopus with Saffron Skordalia, and a Cauliflower Salad as the first course followed by Fasolada with Fried Cod and Tarama, Orzo (Kritharki) with Wild Fennel and Botarga, Smoked Eel with Cured Pork and Fava. Second course will be Grilled Lamb Cutlet with Trachana and Greek Yoghurt plus Rooster Pastitsada served with Crispy Potato Cake and Graviera Cheese. Finally a Greek pastry Bougatsa for dessert, all washed down with especially selected Greek wines and plenty of Greek ambience!
