Gourmet dining in the heart of Northamptonshire…

There are few restaurants that can really claim to offer classic fine dining, but now, anyone living close to Oundle, Stamford and Corby has the opportunity to experience this in Upper Benefield at The Benefield Wheatsheaf.

The hotel is offering a five course ‘Gourmet Dining’ experience for groups of 10-14 people who may wish to celebrate a special occasion, host a corporate or executive dinner or simply enjoy excellent food and wine in the company of friends in a private dining room.

Head Chef, David Clipsham, who is trained in classic French cuisine and has featured in the Michelin guide, designs his gourmet menus to feature the finest available ingredients.  These may be styled to a particular theme or feature classic dishes such as individual Beef Wellington.  Guests may decide to choose their own dishes or keep an element of surprise by leaving menu content to the chef.

Once the menu is confirmed, the finest wines from around the world are selected to accompany each course.  On the evening, our Restaurant Manager (who joins us from the renowned Stapleford Park) introduces each dish and the wine selected to complement it.

‘David is a highly talented chef and his cuisine combined with our Restaurant Manager’s knowledge of food & wine will ensure that those seeking a gourmet dining experience will have an evening to remember’, comments Roger Brockbank, General Manager.

Gourmet dining at The Benefield Wheatsheaf is available from Tuesday to Saturday evenings and costs £110 per person for a five-course meal with wine or £80 without wines.  View a sample menu…
