### 🍽️ The Menu

First Course 🥧 Shepherd’s Pie Tartlet A savory bite of tradition—tender lamb and vegetables tucked into a buttery crust. Wine Pairing: Pinot Noir – earthy and light, perfect with lamb.
Second Course 🥣 Leek & Potato Soup Creamy, soothing, and soul-warming—served with a touch of chive oil. Wine Pairing: Unoaked Chardonnay – crisp enough to balance the richness.
Third Course 🥗 Beet & Walnut Salad with Blue Cheese A vibrant plate of sweet, earthy beets, crunchy walnuts, and bold blue cheese. Wine Pairing: Dry Riesling – its acidity complements the cheese and beets beautifully.
Fourth Course 🥩 Beef Wellington with Whiskey Cream Sauce & Colcannon The showstopper—tender beef wrapped in pastry, served with buttery cabbage-potato mash. Wine Pairing: Bordeaux Blend or Syrah – bold enough to stand up to the richness.
Fifth Course 🍮 Sticky Toffee Pudding with Toffee Sauce Warm, indulgent, and utterly British served with a generous pour of toffee sauce. Wine Pairing: Tawny Port or Late Harvest Zinfandel – sweet and spiced to match the dessert.
