Or why not join the staff at the bar and try the specially created Wingrove Rum Citrus cocktail.

David Allcorn, proprietor comments: “As our head chef descends from the Caribbean we really wanted to create a special Feastbourne menu which would celebrate this. We’re delighted to be involved in this year’s event and hope our limited edition menu will capture the imaginations and taste-buds of diners.”
