Blackfriars Restaurant

When we think of Autumn, pumpkin and spices often come to mind. However, another comforting pastry to enjoy this season is the classic French Paris Brest. With caramelised nuts, praline-infused creams and soft, fluffy crème mousseline, this dessert is a true winner to add to your repertoire! So enjoy an alternative night out preparing a delicious, seasonal dessert and pastry treats which you can eat during strategic breaks or simply take home to enjoy in front of the T.V.! All of our weeknight cookery club sessions are suitable for beginner cooks and are led by our friendly chef tutors.

Autumn and winter are the perfect seasons for enjoying the delights of wild game. And from October through to January there’s an abundance of the beautiful full-flavoured healthy lean meat around including pheasant, mallard, partridge and grouse. We’ll present the very best game we can source, take you through the basics of butchering game and how to make the most of your countryside spoils. Enjoy a fun day with like-minded people and learn a new skill for life! Each student will have their own work station, equipment and ingredients to work with. These courses are designed to be relaxed, informative and fun.

Join us at the Friary for a fun spin on a blind whisky tasting. We will provide six fabulous whiskies as a blind tasting. Two of our in-house whisky experts will try to convince you to believe them based on two different whisky tasting profiles. But who’s telling the truth & who’s the liar? You have to guess! Who can you trust? Are you ready for the challenge?
