The Winebarn Dinner - 14th March
Iris Ellmann of The Winebarn personally visits and tastes at a large number of German vineyards, and sells only what are in her opinion, truly unique and rewarding wines. There list includes superb examples of German Riesling, the Pinot family and others - many of which are featured on our own winelist.

The words “made in Germany” are generally synonymous with outstanding quality, and The Winebarn's ever growing list of ambitious smaller German wine producers increasingly bears testimony to this. Both Stephen (sommelier at L’ortolan) and Iris agree that German wine is poised for a bright and much deserved renaissance, but the good news for you is that right now, Alan and the team have created a menu around these fantastic German wines, better still as German wine is still emerging on the high streets the costs are still very reasonable!!

£100pp

7pm arrival for dinner at 7.30pm - please note a carriages should be arranged for approximately 11-11.30pm.

Please quote "The Winebarn Dinner " when making your reservation.

Food For Thought
Alan’s first book, released just before Christmas is already receiving some great reviews -

"Among the hundreds of cookery books that I have known in my time, there is absolutely no doubt that Alan Murchison's 'Food For Thought' is the most beautiful I have ever seen.

A veritable work of art, it is the epitome of artistic imagination and exquisite taste, truly a feast for your eyes, even surpassing the evident usefulness for the ambitious cook.

Its penetrating and highly selective attention to detail is overwhelming in every way. It is amazing that it was have produced (and even published!) by Alan Murchison personally."

- Egon Ronay
