A series of exclusive evenings of fine dining and fine wines selected and prepared for gourmet appetites at The Crown at Whitebrook by Head Chef, James Sommerin
The next gourmet evening will be held on the 18th April 2007

The Crown at Whitebrook near Monmouth, renowned for its fine cuisine and impressive wine collections, has announced a further gourmet evening at its restaurant on 16 March, 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 give guests a rare opportunity to sample the very best that The Crown has to offer.

With a limited number of seats per evening, the events have proved so popular that The Crown is looking to extend the series as a regular programme each season, allowing guests to sample the best of seasonal local produce.

Diners are 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 is presented course by course along with a brief synopsis on why it was chosen to suit each dish.

An innovative and intimate atmosphere is 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.
