We always look forward to the TABASCO® briefs from Hunter PR as it’s a pepper sauce close to our hearts and as a brand they always give huge creativity to our chefs and love to work with great ingredients.

This year they tasked us with creating a club lunch for their founders and industry people. They wanted a focus on provenance, to celebrate the great, small and talented suppliers we work with. Our Head Chef Mark Tuttiett and Young British Foodies finalist created a seasonal Louisiana style family menu that put the spotlight on some of our favourite farmers and celebrated the British harvest.

Our chefs were particularly excited to be working with TABASCO® new chipotle pepper sauce, which they served up with Cornish mussels and boiled sweetcorn. 

The glazed Yorkshire rib was the star of the show. Our chefs headed out of the kitchen and onto the floor in their red TABASCO® tees to carve up the juicy and succulent beef.

The meal was rounded off with a bourbon caramel tart which had a little kick from the TABASCO® green sauce.

To bring the theme of harvest to the look and feel of the room, our Head of Events Ruth Ferguson designed and styled the table dressing to have elements of dried flowers worked in with earthy colours. See more of Ruth’s autumnal ideas on our Carousel Pinterest
