Likely to include such things as Marzipan Wafers, Prune pastries, Shrewsbury cakes (and other English dainties), assortment of fruit tarts (such as plum, quince, apple, pear), and dried fruits and nuts

Every course has been planned so that even lacto-ovo vegetarians will be able to eat most everything. Meat dishes will be clearly identified. If you have any specific allergies (nuts, msg, vinegar, etc), please let us know ASAP so that we can tell you what dishes should be avoided.

I hope you'll come and join us!
