The Lord Crewe Arms, Blanchland is set to host the new Taste the North series with top chefs from around the region.
Each month, a different chef will take over Lord Crewe Arms for one night, presenting their unique cuisine that showcases the best seasonal and local produce – with only 16 seats availa-ble in the intimate setting of the Gatehouse for each event.
The series is brainchild of Paul Johnson, head chef at Lord Crewe Arms, and 75% of the pro-ceeds from each event will be donated to a charity of the chef’s choice.
Chefs taking part include David Kennedy (head chef at Hotel Gotham – March 25), Damian Broom (executive chef at Seaham Hall – April 28), Jake Siddle (chef-owner of Faru – May 26), Gary Dall (chef-owner of The Roxburgh – August 25), and Sam Willis (head chef at Dobson and Parnell – September 30).
Tickets are £75 per person and include a four-course meal and a glass of English sparkling wine. Recommended wine pairings will also be available, and there is a special B&B rate of £160.
