Autumn Epicurean

An evening of ‘surreptitiously fine dining’ hosted by Dave & Whetham of 99 Delights. The Autumn Epicurean menu featured an Amuse-Bouche of Chestnut Soup with Truffle Oil, a starter of Sea Bass on celeriac puree, with fennel and vanilla, a main course of Pan-Roasted Pigeon with date puree, glazed turnips & winter greens, Followed by a selection of cheeses, a pre-dessert offering named ‘Death of Elvis’ and a dessert to finish of a Raspberry and White Chocolate Creme Brulee. Each course complete with a carefully chosen Wine accompaniment. The menu was exquisite, but the food was only part of the story. The whole evening was a sensual foray, in line with 99’s dedication to provide a unique home dining experience. Included in the evenings’ entertainment was background music provided by live jazz piano & bass player, and a ceremonial ‘raising of the cheese,’ with the evening selection of cheeses hoisted to the ‘warming shelf’ before being lowered later in the evening and distributed amongst the guests. An extraordinary experience.
