Next Monday the 30th we are joined again by Saurav Next Monday the 30th we are joined again by Saurav Nath, with a Raj era inspired menu. The British love affair with Indian good goes a long way back, and many dishes are now part of our culture; Mulligatawny soup, Kedgeree and the Women’s institute favourite, chutney. The fusion didn’t end there as Portuguese and French cuisines were also fused with Indian food including molee and Vindaloo (literally translates as wine and potatoes). We still have a couple of tables left. Call 01420 83841 to book 
(All dietary requirements catered for)

The Great Greyfriar Menu Returns Tuesday 10th of The Great Greyfriar Menu  Returns

Tuesday 10th of May

The Battle of Alton

Dan Rees, of the George in Alton, threw down his guantlet and issued his challenge to face Tom Hinsley of the Greyfriar. They will meet in the kitchen of battle, on the 1oth of May at 7pm in the Greyfriar, Chawton

Each chef will produce six lances (sorry courses) based on randomised ingredients. As a guest you will try each chefs dishes, twelve in total. We ask you to score each dish out of ten. At the end of the evening, there will be only one winner and one cream pie in the losers face (I will resist cream pieing both chefs but it’s really hard not to)

Those of you who joined us last time will know how much fun this will be and we are really excited that Dan has agreed to join us, he is doing great things at the George as general manager and he has a close affinity with us at the Greyfriar, having been our head chef for our first two years. We look forward to a great evening
