Guests will be greeted by local merchant Captain John Harle and regaled with stories from his time at sea, introducing the ‘stolen’ and imported goods being served with each course.

Inspired by the history of the house, chef Ellen Parr will design a five-course menu inspired by eighteenth century recipes and full of twists and surprises. Be transported around the historical world of food trade and exchange with an exciting menu that plays with rich and exotic flavours teamed with the traditional food of the sea merchant.
Expect salted meats, limes for scurvy, ship’s biscuits, smuggled envelopes of parmesan, nutmeg, spices and much more.
Continuing the Art of Dining’s ethos to wholly transport guests into another world, Trade Secrets will incorporate bespoke design to create an immersive dining experience. Think old maps with routes planned out, glowing lamps, wooden tables, messages in bottles. Smuggled silk will adorn hidden corners in different rooms in the house, holding surprises to stumble upon between courses. Guests will be invited to enter the world of secret imports by unwrapping smuggled goods and following instructions attached to vessels and packages.
