Adventurous Dining - Entomophagy

For those of you who fancy a slightly different dining experience, Peter Gorton (of Gorton’s restaurant in Tavistock) is offering University staff a chance to sample a range of tropical dishes with an entomological flavour. He has devised a four course meal in which UK farmed insects appear in every course. In some courses the insects will be evident and others they will provide a culinary background.

Peter is offering a discount to University staff so the cost would be £25.00 / head as against £35.00 to the public.  If you would like to come along please make a reservation by calling the number below.

Thursday August 22nd – Crunchy Cuisine and Tasty Tales Evening
