Dinner at Downton

On Friday night my sister treated me to an amazing meal at a local pop up restaurant at the beautiful Byfleet Manor. As well as being a treat for the taste buds, the venue was equally exciting as Byfleet Manor is the venue used for filming on of my TV favourites, Downton Abbey, not the Abbey itself, obviously, but the Dowager's house (Maggie Smith's character). We were also joined by a couple of friends for a fabulous foodie girls night.

Although Byfleet Manor is a private residence, the talented Aneke has partnered with them to host these pop up nights. She is working to achieve michelin star status, and her food certainly reflects that. 

After bubbles and beautiful canapés we were brought through to the dinning room where our menu was waiting to be perused...

 Each of the courses were really small and delicate and we were given enough time to eat and digest, so even mini-Victoria was able to eat everything we were served up, it was far to delicious to leave anything on our plates!

Dinner at Downton is priced at £45 per person with BYO drinks, it you are interested in attending a future evening, keep looking at the Food By Aneke website. and I'll try and keep you updated too.
