Grouse Dinner at Vennell’s Restaurant, Masham
September 3, 2016
If there is one dish in the world that captures the true gourmet essence of La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs it is roast grouse. Not only does it relate to the origins of our Guild, when King Louis honoured the itinerant roasters of small birds by granting them a royal charter, but it is recognised throughout the gastronomic world as worthy of profound respect. It requires no trendy smoke machine, no dry ice embellishment or minute drops of coloured gel of exotic alchemy; it is complete in itself, plain roasted, accompanied perhaps with a little bread sauce or a few game chips, a rich jus and the finest red wine you can afford. Grouse is probably the last of the truly organic foods. Everything from venison, salmon, halibut, caviar to chicken, guineafowl and wagu beef is farmed these days but grouse cannot be; it is a wild creature of the upland moors. Some of the finest grouse habitat in the world is here in North Yorkshire. In the hands of an expert chef grouse has no equal and offers a dining experience of the highest order.

Time: 7.30 for 8pm Trading as an inn since 1740, the multi-million pound restoration in 2012 used décor and fittings appropriate to the building. The gardens, running down to the River Derwent, were also revived. The hotel is on Yorkersgate, the road into the historic market town – which claims to pre-date York by having a Roman fort in 71AD. Malton is currently working on becoming the Food Centre of Yorkshire and has already attracted several new food and drink-oriented businesses. The Executive Chef at the Talbot is James Martin, who was born in Malton and attended Malton School before beginning his training at Scarborough Technical College.

October 24, 2013
On Thursday 24 October we will try a new venue, the Ashfield Restaurant which is run by students at the Hospitality and Catering Department of York College, on the outskirts of the City. The restaurant claims to provide “Cordon Bleu style food at a fraction of the price”. The young people certainly provide food and service which form a good basis for employment in top class hotels and restaurants. Chaine HQ encourages us to support training restaurants like this and we hope you will support this first visit by the Bailliage.

Middlethorpe Hall Hotel, on the outskirts of York [www.middlethorpe.com]. This will be our first event to be held at this popular and well-regarded venue. This will almost certainly be a tasting dinner with two wines with each course, and both food and wine will be from Burgundy.

Wine will be from one of the hotels normal suppliers, Otto Hinderer of Wakefield, who has some interesting ideas.
