DINING FIT FOR A KING - The Ultimate Gourmet Feast Now Offered at The Crown
Sunday, 1st January 2006

A series of exclusive evenings of fine dining and fine wines selected and prepared for gourmet appetites by Head Chef, James Sommerin

The Crown at Whitebrook near Monmouth, renowned for its fine cuisine and impressive wine collections will hold a series of gourmet evenings starting on 26 January, 2006.

Building on its reputation for good food by only sourcing the very best of local produce and preparing it to the highest standards of French cuisine, the gourmet evenings will give guests a rare opportunity to sample the very best that The Crown has to offer.

Diners will be treated to a seven course set menu created by award winning Head Chef, James Sommerin with a range of the best wines carefully selected by Sebastian Peak, of Peak Wines, London, to compliment the food served to perfection. Each wine will be presented course by course along with a brief synopsis on why it was chosen to suit each dish.

To add intrigue and enjoyment no menus will be presented until after the dinner is complete in order to give guests the opportunity to make educated guesses and compare notes with fellow diners before all is revealed by James at the end of the dinner and questions are answered.
An innovative and intimate atmosphere will be created in the restaurant by bringing everyone together in a ‘one-table’ dining format, so that guests can eat together and share experiences, creating a perfect evening of discovery for those with a gourmet appetite.

Michael Obray, General Manager said: “These evenings are a rare opportunity to eat the food, and drink the wine as we see it at its very best. It is critical in a restaurant that we offer our diners a choice of dishes and an extensive wine list but great food and drink is an ongoing learning experience and we want to take these opportunities to present the very best combinations using the freshest local ingredients available at the time of the year.”

Heralded as one of Wales’ most promising restaurants by critics from The Sunday Times, The Guardian and Dining Out in Wales, the new gourmet evenings support The Crown’s commitment to offering the very best in fine dining, first class accommodation and the finest in hospitality.

All places must be reserved in advance by contacting The Crown on 01600 860254 or emailing us.
