BRITTANY SEAFOOD SHOWCASE

Friday 1st June – £35 per person

Born in the picturesque fishing village of St. Cado, on the south coast of Brittany, Head Chef Alain has been surrounded by great food and great ingredients all his life. His love of France, and particularly of his home village and the Brittany region is evident in the food we serve at Launay's. Alain returns to Brittany often to spend time with his family, and always manages to come back to England with new ideas and inspiration!

For the first time, we're celebrating Alain's cullinary roots with a Brittany Seafood Showcase – six mouthwatering courses of the finest seafood from Brittany. Alain will be travelling to Brittany (a great excuse to return home and visit his family!), along with a small group of fellow food lovers, to source the ingredients himself. For details of how you can be a part of the trip, see the bottom of the page.

The Brittany Seafood Showcase is sure to be a very popular event, so booking early is essential. Call us on 01623 822266 for more information or to reserve your place.
