Private supper club at Carwinion House
Last night we collaborated with Petty Fours for the second time with Chefs Alfie Petty, Tareg Morris and Jack Mitchell as I organised a private Supper Club night inside Carwinion House, a historic 18th Century country house set in 12 acres of stunning sub-tropical gardens in the village of Mawnan Smith.
Owners Laraine and Paul welcomed 20 strangers into their exquisite manor house for an evening with us, Potluck Cornwall.
Our guests dined on an 8 course tasting menu (they originally thought there were going to be 6)
A glass of Strawberry No-Mojito was sipped under the sun on the terrace whilst some of the diners perused the walled gardens.
