Granary Watlington, Fri 26 Apr, Thurs 16 May, Fri  31 May
I’m a big fan of The Granary and its hard-won reputation for its superb cheese and deli offering. It&#8217;s 2019 supper clubs are in full swing for Spring with March offering a pasta making masterclass with Pasta Evangelists- you&#8217;ll learn to make your own fresh pasta and then be served it for dinner with paired wine, ciao bella! More supper clubs to come, details TBC.
