Summer Solstice Floral Wreath-Making Workshop
As we approach the longest day of the year, celebrate with an evening of seasonal creativity at The Swan.
READ MOREFrom 20th–22nd March, we’re celebrating one of the finest pairings around at The Chequers: fresh oysters and English sparkling wine. Join us for a special weekend dedicated to beautifully fresh oysters served alongside crisp, elegant bubbles – the perfect excuse to gather friends and make it a special weekend!
Throughout the weekend we’ll be serving a selection of oysters from across the British Isles, including Cornish Porthilly, Maldon Pacific and Scottish Rock oysters, all available at £4 each. To make things even better, order six oysters and enjoy a complimentary glass of London Clay English sparkling – a bright and refreshing match for the briny freshness of the oysters.
Alongside the classics, we’ll also be serving Oysters Rockefeller, baked with spinach and a herb crumb for a rich and comforting twist on the traditional favourite. For something heartier, our kitchen will be preparing a Steak and Oyster Pie, served with soft mash, greens and a crisp oyster tempura – a proper indulgent dish and a nod to one of Britain’s most historic culinary combinations.
To round off the weekend, we’ll have live music on Saturday 22nd from 7–9pm, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a glass of sparkling, a plate of oysters and a lively evening at The Chequers.
Whether you’re an oyster enthusiast or simply curious to try something new, our Oyster & English Sparkling Weekend is set to be a delicious celebration of great British oysters and sparkling.
