We are pleased to tell you about a forthcoming event to be held in association with The Wine Company with wines presented by Mark Leveson-Gower, Director, Maisons, Marques et Domaines

Chef Chris Lee has created a five course menu designed to complement a range of great Champagnes, Ports and wines from estates owned by Louis Roederer Champagne.

Mark Leveson-Gower is a Director of Maisons, Marques et Domaines, a company formed by Louis Roederer to market their wines in the UK. He will lead us through the dinner, informally outlining the merits of each wine with Chris’ delicious food.

We are very excited by this event, and advise early booking.

Rooms are available at The Bildeston Crown for Thursday night, starting from £100 per room (B&B), and two sharing.  If you would like to extend your Midsummer stay in Suffolk, The Bildeston Crown are offering our “Taste of Roederer” diners 50% off their room if also staying the Friday night.

Book now by calling us on 01449 740510, to avoid disappointment.

The Hairy Bikers’ Tour of Britain TV series started again this week kicking off with Suffolk with Si and Dave cooking a traditional county favourite at Snape Maltings, collecting flour from a working water mill, and then pitting their new-found knowledge against our Chris in a cook-off. Restaurant diners decided who had created the dish that best defined Suffolk and Chris emerged as the winner with eight out of the nine votes.

The recipe for Chris’ winning dish can be found here, and the programme is available on the BBC iPlayer until Sunday 5^th May, or at any time on our website.
