Cameron Sohel from Dijon Boys said: “The past few months have been really busy for us and we were just about to start our next project when Lee approached us, but we couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

"So many Christmas menus are the same everywhere you go - we wanted to put our distinctive Dijon Boys twist on it - we’re all about big, punchy flavours. I think we’ve really done that with this menu.”

There will be also be masterclasses from Latitude Wines, who will take guests through a range of speciality spirits such as Filey Bay whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon.
