Tuscan style dining had guests flocking to The Pot Kiln pub and restaurant on Wednesday for its first ever themed evening.

The Tuscan evening was hosted by chef owner Mike Robinson with Count Francesco Mazzei who has been producing some of the best wines in Tuscany for hundreds of years.

A wild boar spit roast was already well underway as guests arrived and this was later served as part of a stunning six course dinner featuring Tuscan food cooked using wild ingredients, cooked simply.

Guests sat at three large tables, Italian style, and mingled inside and out, enjoying the picturesque setting at The Pot Kiln and the glorious summer evening. 

Katie Robinson said: “It was a perfect evening and we were thrilled that everybody enjoyed it so much.  We had guests come specially from as far as Carlisle and Kent, which is amazing, and we’ve already had several complimentary letters.

“We are planning more themed evenings in coming months, so if anyone is interested, they need to keep an eye on our website where we will announce the next date.”
