Lunch with Ben Tish

Join us at Water Lane Walled Garden on 27th September for a Mediterranean-inspired three-course lunch with acclaimed chef and food writer Ben Tish.

We’re delighted to welcome Ben to Water Lane, where he’ll be serving a seasonal, produce-led feast inspired by the flavours and traditions of the Mediterranean. Ben is widely respected as a leading voice in Mediterranean cooking, with his food shaped by years spent travelling and cooking across Europe, particularly Spain and Italy. His cooking places a strong emphasis on exceptional ingredients, seasonality and letting produce take centre stage.

Set within the historic Water Lane Walled Garden, lunch will be served in the beautiful Carnation Glasshouse, with guests seated at two long communal tables — the perfect setting for a long, leisurely afternoon of good food, wine and conversation.

Arrival is from 1pm, when guests can enjoy a welcome drink and nibbles, with lunch served from approximately 1.30pm.

Tickets are £59 per person, including service and a welcome drink.

Alongside the lunch, Wallgate Wines will be offering a selection of wines by the glass and bottle, as well as a specially selected wine flight for £25.
