Dinner in Barbados - Pop-up Event

We kick start our autumn set of op-up dining experiences with a journey to the West Indies. This dinner is inspired by Chef Peter's culinary 'stage' on the island of Barbados. It's a long story as to how he ended up living with a Bajan family there and filming a series for Granada TV with the late Lyndsey de Paul as presenter. He'll tell all during the evening, plus how he entered the Annual Crop Over Carnival and was practically the only white face in the entire procession. He was also introduced to the national drink of the island, Mount Gay Rum Punch - and had a very good time indeed!

Barbados is truly unique in terms of cuisine. The Spanish, Portuguese and then the British have all put their stamp on the island and this is reflected in the ingredients used in their dishes. Even though it is not much bigger than the Isle of Wight, it produces over 60,000 tons of what is regarded as the finest sugar in the world, with its exquisite deep flavour and aroma. Unfortunately this is not readily available in your local supermarket, as it is snapped up by 5 star hotels around the world. However, Peter and the team will be giving you a taste of it on the night!

The talented Andrew Hurst will provide suitable music to help create the mood and Peter Vaughan will tell you more about the food you are eating. It’s sure to be the perfect evening in which to welcome cooler months on the horizon.

Venue: Dutch Barn, Owl Lodge, Forest Lane, Lacock SN15 2PN
