QUINTESSENTIALLY BRITISH LUNCHEON
EXPERIENCE
A relaxed and engaging countryside experience combining a traditional game of croquet with a delicious two-course luncheon.
Set within a beautiful Cotswolds country house setting, guests enjoy light-hearted outdoor leisure followed by an introduction to British dining etiquette.
Imagine a quintessentially British summer's day set within the grounds of a beautiful Cotswolds country house hotel, where guests are invited to enjoy a traditional game of croquet followed by a refined two-course luncheon.
The experience begins outdoors on a manicured lawn, where guests are guided through the rules of croquet and invited to take part in a light-hearted and enjoyable game. Set against the backdrop of the English countryside, this relaxed activity offers a charming introduction to British leisure traditions.
Following the game, guests are invited to continue the experience indoors, where they are seated for a two-course luncheon in an elegant and welcoming setting.
During the meal, our principal, Emma Dupont, a certified British etiquette consultant, provides gentle guidance on the key aspects of British dining etiquette, exploring both formal and informal settings in an engaging and accessible way.
Guests are welcome to ask questions throughout, creating an enjoyable and informative experience while sharing a beautifully prepared meal in the Cotswolds.
