Where it all started! This is a high-end five course tasting menu featuring amazing local meat, fish and vegetables from the local East Devon Larder. Once a month, these are communal suppers where you will make new friends, eat delicious food and then take in the magical atmosphere of the High Grange Estate. It begins with a welcome cocktail and canapés, and guests then sit down at our outdoor communal oak table (indoor in terrible weather!) for at least five courses of the best local ingredients.

We're massive fans of Spanish food here at High Grange - a pre-children treat used to be long weekends in San Sebastian for pinchos grazing, sherry supping and Sideria visiting. As you can imagine we were delighted to meet Ed and Giselle from Strawberry Tree in the heart of Lyme's Town Mill at a Jurassic Feast meeting. We immediately felt like these were 'our' kind of people and immediately started thinking about a collaboration..... after a boozy dinner and a more sensible morning meeting we think that we've come up with a fantastic event.

Ed runs a calm, friendly, knowledgeable front of house and Gibraltan-born Giselle knocks out plate after plate of delicious, authentic tapas from her tiny galley kitchen (I simply can't fit in it so when we do the return leg I'll be roasting things outside!).

Itinerary:

11am - Tapas Masterclass & Tasting

As you arrive at High Grange in glorious Summer sunshine (!?) you will be met with a glass of Cava and the smell of woodsmoke. You are welcome to wander through our beautiful woodland and gardens until we begin a Tapas masterclass. Luke used to compere the demo kitchen at Borough Market so we'll do it in a similar style with Luke and Giselle prepping and serving tapas whilst ruminating about all things cooking and hospitality - there will be lots of tasters and plenty of opportunity to ask questions to both chefs. We’ll send you off to harvest some of the veg that we'll be using and even collect your own eggs from our HG chickens.

This is a one off event and is highly likely to sell out so early booking is recommended - what could be better than gorgeous tapas, great wine and a beautiful view over the rolling east devon countryside.

Tapas menu:

• Pan con tomate

• Jamón croquetas

• Grilled squid / cuttlefish

12.30pm - Paella Lunch

After the masterclass there will be a 30 minute interlude to have another drink, check out our outdoor kitchen and generally relax before we serve lunch around our great oak communal feasting table.

• Chicken / Rabbit paella or Spring vegetable paella

• Tarta de Santiago

3pm - Finish
