£45.00 / ticket  
 
As big supporters of Newcastle/Gateshead’s EAT Festival, we were asked to come up with an event to really get the juices flowing. Something a bit different and something that everyone that enjoys good food and drink can enjoy…

We, along with the award-winning chefs at Blackfriars Restaurant came up with this fantastic 6-course sample menu with whiskies to boot! It was a hard time sampling and putting this together (!) but we hope you enjoy it – I am certain you will!

– Butternut squash soup, with smoked haddock, soft boiled quails egg and whisky oil
–       Mackerel ceviche with orange, tomato, capers, lemon juice and parsley
–       North Sea scallops, celeriac puree, pancetta
–       Home smoked Scottish salmon, pickled cucumber, celery foam, honey and truffle vinaigrette
–      Pan fried halibut, potato and corned beef hash, oyster mushroom jus, mushroom ketchup
–      Treacle tart, whisky soaked raisins, vanilla crème fraiche

We hope you agree this is a sparkling menu and a great use of local ingredient.

The whiskies will be mainly from the celebrated Distiller’s Edition’s range from Diageo, but will also include one or two other tid-bits.
This is going to be good…

You will not be sent a ticket through the post. Your details will be added to the event register and all you need to do is print the payment confirmation page and bring it with you to the event.
