Sophie Hambling (St. John) at Queensrollahouse Staff Canteen on 20 & 21 June

We have somehow managed to prise the wonderful Sophie Hambling away from the kitchen of St. John and onto our roof terrace to cook for us over two summer evenings.

Shaped by her Lancashire upbringing, Sophie’s culinary values lie at the heart of her cooking. Her focus on resourcefulness whilst making the most of each ingredient have been perfectly cultivated by her time at St. John.

Featuring drinks from our neighbour, master distiller Maison Miles, with DJs & dancing after supper, as always, till 1.30am

4 courses are on offer, a cocktail also, for £60 with a good selection of wines available from the bar.
