'Taste of Truro' - Game Evening 

Join Head Chef Ollie Wyatt on Saturday 7th October for an intimate tasting evening in The Library at The Alverton, that will be a celebration of Cornwall's incredible game meat offering.

The evening is part of our 'Taste of Truro' series and will highlight the very best seafood, grass-fed meats and harvest from our ‘Great Little City’.

Indulge in our six course tasting menu

Cornwall is surrounded by plentiful of game producing estates that have hundreds of years of history and heritage behind them. Following on from our successful ‘Taste of Truro’ evening last year, Ollie has used his knowledge and experience of working with this special type of meat to create a uniquely delicious menu filled with expertly curated dishes that will both excite and tantalise the taste buds for a one of kind tasting experience.

As you take your seat for this special event, savour the flavours of local land and sea with specially created canapes of Alverton duck ham, shallot chutney and sherry vinegar, plus crisp native oysters and lemon. Then for the amuse-bouche, taste quail with carrot on homemade rice crackers topped with a quail's egg, followed by locally caught wood pigeon and chicory. For the main course, savour melt in the mouth Westcountry venison loin on a bed of chocolate tortellini, artichoke and red wine.

Finish on a sweet note with a rich chocolate soufflé, fresh and citrusy marmalade and homemade mascarpone ice cream followed by a selection of petit fours.
