Our December "Italian Table" in the Pebblebed Tasting Cellar will offer a simple, warming festive meal of homecooked foods to celebrate the start of the holidays. The evening will kick off with a Bellini cocktail, then guests will settle down cosily on the Pebblebed trestle tables (and, since our evenings are always popular, it really is very cosy).

Here's the menu:

Crostino di fegatini
Tuscan style chicken liver on a sourdough crostino
**
Zuppa di farro
A warming winter soup made with local vegetables and cracked spelt
**
Peposo
Insalata mista, patatine arrostite
Shortribs of Devon beef slow-braised in Chianti with tons of black pepper
roast potatoes, mixed salad

Mousse di cioccolato
Italian chocolate mousse

Wines from the Vino cellar.

Cost £25 for 3 courses including a Bellini (£20 for Club Vino members).
