BAXI RETURNS FOR ANOTHER ART OF STEAK MASTER CLASS. 1PM, 6 JULY.
What goes best with Rugby ? Brilliant meat. And that's what Greg Bax's Art of Steak Master Class is all about. It'll run at midday on Saturday and is all about the key elements of a major take home culinary skill that will ensure that the way you serve your steak at home will be a talking point for ever more; the selection of the perfect cuts from game to beef, the major issue of lazy aging - how to do it in your own fridge and the system to run the schedule. From there to the grilling, the timing, the wine paring and so on.
Places are limited so call the hotel now to book your place at the long table for this excellent workshop on the 6 July from 1pm.
