Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

We at Thames Valley Bailliage often use superlatives to describe our events, and our sum-mer Grand Dîner is no exception. Jim Gardiner, the Curator and newspaper gardening correspondent, has arranged for his team to show us around the Garden before dinner. Highlights of the visit will include the walled garden, model domestic gardens, herb garden, fruit and vegetable areas, alpine house and meadow, and the canal. The Garden Tour starts at 6.30 pm prompt, a map and your tickets for admission will be sent with your receipt. Booking is essential.

If you do not wish to do the tour we will look forward to greeting you with a glass of sparkling wine and canapés at 7.30 pm. in the Glasshouse. Dinner promises to be a wonderful event, the seasonal fruits and vegetables are all grown at Wisley. Chefs Alisdair Beach & Neil Roster, Head Chef Company of Cooks and Head Chef RHS Garden Wisley have created a fabulous summer menu making the most of all that the Garden has to offer.

Dress is Black Tie with insignia and wellies for the tour!
