March at Ansells

Butchers Block To Table Top

In January 2011 Ansells and the OAKHouse struck on an idea to host a dining experience with a difference, bringing together only those things independent businesses can….A unique combination of quality and service

People who have an interest in the provenance of ingredients and how to get the most out of them were a source of inspiration in developing the ‘Butchers Block to Table Top’ events. The Ansells moto is ‘everything in its season’ and using this as our guide, each event has a theme focusing on whichever meat is in season throughout the year

The evenings start with a professional meat cutting demonstration, first hand advice and discussion about the key seasonal meat(s) at the Ansells shop. Everyone then heads over to the OAKHouse to their private dining room upstairs for a sumptuous 3 course meal based on the meat(s) used in the earlier demonstration. Each course is accompanied by wine specially selected to complement, supplied by local wine merchant Grape Passions
This years second event is all about "summer eating" Start your summer of in style with a few new recipe suggestions. Plus see the wines that match perfectly to finish the meal off in style.
