Saturday 22nd February
Join us on Saturday 22 February from 3pm to 5pm as we present an immersive degustation menu, conceived by Chocolate Consultant, Cat Black and MasterChef finalists, Geoff Warburton and Alex Talbot.
Restaurant Essex Chocolate Menu Tasting
After a chocolate-based cocktail and canapés on arrival, Cat will provide a brief introduction, before Alex and Geoff unveil their six courses, which will take you on a journey of chocolate excellence. Incorporating limoncello, blackberry, hazelnut, raspberry and yuzu, the tasting aims to showcase the diversity of the decadent ingredient.
About Geoff Warburton
Geoff Warburton is a love psychologist and home cook. He became a finalist on MasterChef 2019, with his take on Italian flavours. Geoff has a passion for nuts and leaves and their uses in cooking. He owns a walnut orchard in Puglia, which has fueled his nut obsession.
