Menu Ideas

If you’re anything like us, the first question you’ll ask yourself after you confirm your place is what will I eat? (That or what will I wear, which we’ll discuss next.)
 
Your menu is just another way to make this event feel personal to you. In the past, some guests have brought formal three-course meals with them, while some bring cheese boards and baguettes. Either way, Dîner en Blanc is all about the occasion, so do spend some time thinking about what food would make this night special for you. Also remember that the less you have to carry the better, and that food will need to last approximately three hours before you sit down to eat. Incorporating small things like that will make your evening that much more enjoyable.
 
While all this in mind, have a think about some of these menus below. We have provided some links here and there to help you, but have fun and personalise your menu to your own style and tastes. This is all about having fun, after all.
 
So Frenchy, So Chic
petits croque monsieurs & salad of beetroot, eschalots and sautéed apples with goat’s cheese & Cassoulet de Toulouse & pear and star anise tarte Tatin
 
Charcuterie
generous cheese board with pate and saucisson & baguette with condiments such as preserved lemons, lavender jelly and honeycomb & lavender macaroons
 
Moroccan
tempura zucchini flowers with tzatziki & spiced couscous & olive tapenade with Turkish bread & dates with Halva & fresh mint tea in a thermos
 
Spring Time
green olive and lemon pasta salad & salmon with butter bean puree and smoky lemon dressing & lemon-toffee cheesecake (serve these in individual jars) & cheese board
 
Scandanvian Cool
a smørrebrød (open-face sandwiches) ‘buffet’ with untoasted rye bread & roast beef slices & smoked salmon & butter lettuce & watercress & jarlsberg & pickled herring & hard-boiled eggs & honey mustard & cucumber
 
Dumpling Party
dumplings of lamb and pumpkin and of vegetables with chili sauce & cold shredded tofu salad & wasabi peas & almond biscuits
 
All White
umm… rice noodle salad & meringues?
 
And if it’s all too much, let our good friends at Dalton Catering know and they’ll pack you a hamper to collect on the night. Just go to ‘Store’ in your member’s access area and order the basket that takes your fancy (wine can also be ordered from this area).
 
Bon appétit!
