The Deal

Pairs will traverse through six courses (usually £55) of haute cuisine for lunch or dinner at Vanilla. Meals start with vegetable consommé with peas, broad beans and fresh chervil before being quickly followed by salad of heritage beetroot. Home-smoked salmon and mackerel pâté arrives next before roasted pork belly is served as the main course. Two courses of sweet treats round off the proceedings, with caramelised pineapple purée and finally, apple pie mousse with a cider jelly and apple sorbet. All meals are accompanied by a glass of house red or white wine (£4.30) each.
