As well as our food and wine evenings, we’ve got Cook Dem lunches with our Head Chef Graham Campbell plus some lively jazz nights to lift the mood during the dark winter nights.”
Prices for the Winter Events Series start from £32 per person for the Classic Christmas Cook-Dem up to £295 for two people sharing a Superior Lake View Suite for the Annual American Evening. Prices depend on event selection and choice of accommodation. Availability is limited by numbers.
