We’re getting ready to experience the world in food, stories and music.

Our Round the World Dinner is on Thursday, October 15, 2026 — and we’ll be concentrating on the delightful experiences, food and sounds of Europe.

It will certainly be a full and flavoursome evening.

+ Chef Costa Simatos will design and cook a special menu based on local cuisines.

+ Composer and musician Steve Richter will create and play music to match.

+ Travel Editor Stephen Scourfield will write and tell stories about the places our guests are “visiting”.

For each course, the stories and music conjure up the place, and then the food is served.

It will be a full, tasty, entertaining evening.

Stephen Scourfield says: “We don’t video or record the evening, because a certain magic happens in the room. You just have to be there, to be part of it.”
