Join us at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons
Exclusive offer for olive readers – join us for lunch, gin tasting and a cooking masterclass at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons this May (2019)
Raymond Blanc’s celebrated Oxfordshire manor house hotel and two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, is a must-visit destination for food lovers. Why not treat a loved one (perfect for Mother’s Day) or yourself to an unforgettable three-course lunch, where you will be joined by members of the olive magazine team.
Arriving at the stunning 15th-century manor, surrounded by gorgeous kitchen gardens, you will be welcomed with a morning tea or coffee. Once you have settled in, you will be given a spring demonstration by the expert team of chefs in The Raymond Blanc Cookery School, the first Michelin-starred kitchen in the UK with its own cookery school; plus there will be a gin-tasting session with an expert bartender, who will guide you through the various types of gins and mixers. Prior to lunch there will be a Champagne Laurent-Perrier reception with canapés to whet your appetite, after which you will sit down in Belmond Le Manoir’s elegant La Belle Époque dining room to enjoy a three-course seasonal spring lunch, complete with wine, finishing with tea or coffee and petits fours.
Your day will end with the opportunity to explore the wonderful surrounding gardens and see the produce being grown in the expertly tended grounds and orchards. And don’t forget to collect your olive goody bag (worth £20) before you go!
