Levantine Cuisine. Eating out...with a difference

Ancient style of cooking, delicious food inspired by Levant & live music as we journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem on the last Saturday before Christmas. 

The cuisine of the Levant is a blend of Mediterranean and Arabian influences. Peter Vaughan will narrate the menu & how he has prepared and cooked the dishes using methods that have been used for centuries in Levant countries such as Syria & Lebanon. 

Our talented musician Andrew Hurst will be enhancing the dining experience with his wonderful music. Seating will be at long communal tables, please indicate if you'd like to be seated as a group when booking & we'll make every effort to accommodate you. 

With a warm welcoming drink on arrival and roasting central fire, we invite you to slow down and take it all in; we know that this will be a very special evening to celebrate this Festive month. 

Venue: Dutch Barn, Owl Lodge, Forest lane, Lacock SN15 2PN
