Eating out is taking on a new flavour this summer at Auckland Castle with a series of pop-up restaurant events planned.
Head chef Luke Orwin (pictured) will kick off the monthly events on March 28 with a five-course seasonal tasting menu including fizz and nibbles on arrival (£32.50 pp). The menu features Jerusalem artichoke, lemon and chervil crème fraîche soup with crispy croutons; smoked haddock dippy egg with potato bread soldiers and curried mayonnaise; herb crusted pork fillet; and rhubarb and custard.
Further pop-up dates include April 25, May 23 and June 18, which will include wine pairing (£45pp) hosted by Richard Bouglet of wine merchant L’Art du Vin.
