The Deal
"Everything is of the highest standard" in The WinePress Restaurant, according to Lussorian.com. Two people can now dine on a 2-course meal with prosecco at this Grade II-listed Harpenden manor for less than £15 each.
This offer, which usually costs up to £61.40, includes all of the following:
- A starter each -- current options include terrine of ham hock with homemade piccalilli, or classic potted shrimps with wholemeal bread
- A main course each*, such as roasted duck breast with rosti potato and a Tia Maria and juniper berry jus, or grilled chicken breast with lemon and thyme pearl barley and prune and leek compote
- Swap your starter for a dessert; we're tempted by the chocolate and chestnut tart with chocolate sauce, or the selection of English cheese with house chutney, grapes and oatcakes
You'll also get a glass of prosecco each on arrival.
