Gardet Champagne Dinner at Simpson's

September 09, 2015

As a lucky few of you may be aware, Gardet, our favourite Champagne house, celebrated their 120th Anniversary this year by releasing the mind-numbingly brilliant Anniversary Cuvée (an even luckier few may have managed to nab a bottle). To continue their year of celebrations we are honoured to be welcoming them to a dinner at Simpsons on Wednesday 28th October. The evening will consist of 5 courses specifically chosen to match with 5 of Gardet’s exquisite champagnes and the Gardet Anniversary Cuvee with coffee and petit fours to finish.

The menu is £150 a head. To book please contact Simpson directly on 0121 454 3434 to arrange a deposit and deal with any allergies. The menu is below in full-
