Restaurants around the country have devised special menus to pair with English and Welsh wines.
Oliver Gladwin, head chef at the popular Notting Hill-based restaurant, The Shed, will be hosting a ‘Pop-up resto’ at Nutbourne Vineyard preparing a special tasting menu using foraged ingredients accompanied by Nutbourne wines. Meanwhile, the Montagu Kitchen will be teaming up with Chapel Down, hosting a fizz and canapé event paring the likes of pork belly skewers with apple sauce, asparagus and peas braised barley and a gipsy tart with Chapel Down’s Three Graces 2015 and Kit’s Coty Blanc de Blancs 2014.
Simpson’s In The Strand, which was shortlisted by Wine List Confidential for London’s best English wine list, will be serving Ridgeview’s top wines by the glass. The restaurant lists a total of 21 English wines. The Sussex winery will also be featured at Mare Street Market, where the team will be pouring glasses of Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia rosé and its blanc de noirs on 25, 26 and 27 May accompanied by small dishes from the newly-opened BBQ.
Venues such as Ormer Mayfair, The Oystermen, The Purefoy Arms, Ockenden Manor and The Dog at Wingham are also showcasing homegrown wines next week.
