As always, the vegetables and side dishes ooze character with crispy onions adding texture to green beans in a cream sauce; crème fraiche and chives giving personality to the mash potato and pine nuts and fried sage adding vigour to tagliatelle.
The spread culminates with a selection of ten mouthwatering desserts, including classics such as apple and pear crumble with vanilla sauce and strawberry shortcake, as well as contemporary treats like duo of mousse, mini almond pavlova and red velvet cake.
