A Candlelit Five-Course Tasting Menu

After settling in, we headed over to the main house, where we were blown away. The perfect set up, a candle lit dinner for two. What followed was nothing short of spectacular, we experienced Blackwell Houses’ five-course tasting menu, prepared by the incredibly talented Edele who is clearly a master in the kitchen.
