Theme: Step beyond the modern dining room and into a world of hearth fires, great halls, bustling markets, and royal feasts.
This five-course culinary journey explores the flavors, ingredients, and traditions that shaped food culture throughout the Middle Ages. From the humble preparations of the early medieval period to the increasingly sophisticated techniques and influences that emerged as trade routes expanded and kingdoms flourished, each course tells a story of adaptation, innovation, and survival.
Drawing inspiration from historical recipes, period ingredients, and traditional cooking methods, the menu traces the evolution of medieval cuisine through the centuries. Guests will discover how geography, religion, agriculture, commerce, and social class influenced what appeared on the table—and how many of those culinary traditions continue to influence modern dining today.
Join us for an evening of history, storytelling, and exceptional fare as we explore the rich tapestry of medieval food culture, one course at a time. Chainmail encouraged.
