Michael Caines' Protégés Unite for an Exclusive Eight-Course Feast at Lympstone Manor
Lympstone Manor will host its first Protégé Dinner on 19 September 2018. The event brings together eight chefs who once trained under Michael Caines MBE and now lead their own kitchens. Each will contribute to a special eight-course tasting menu. The dinner celebrates the careers of chefs who began under Caines’ guidance. Among them are Liam Finnegan from The Castle in Taunton, who will prepare a dish with Exmoor venison. Tom Williams-Hawkes from The Salutation Inn will serve wild river Exe fish.
Robby Jenks, head chef at The Vineyard, and Sam Moody from Ballyfin Demesne will also take part. Every course will pair with a wine chosen by Edouard Oger. Michael Caines expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, calling it a unique culinary experience. Tickets for the event start at £255 per person. The dinner will showcase the skills of Caines’ former protégés through a shared menu. Guests can expect a carefully curated evening of fine food and wine.
