Sharing dishes served to each table are a wonderful way to enjoy a nice relaxed, informal meal with fellow guests. You may just like one or two sharing courses – a sharing starter to get everyone talking, or a fun sharing dessert – or go the whole way and enjoy a relaxing, laid-back 3 course sharing feast.
SHARING STARTERS
Sharing starters are always a feast for the senses, adding a wonderful sense of theatre and fun to the start of the meal. The perfect ice-breaker for guests to start talking!
