Whiskey Warmers

Katering had the pleasure of working with Marilyn Grace Events and the boys from The Park to create a very fun afternoon of hunting games and a hearty menu of Scottish inspired fare for Ardbeg whiskey. Served with some whiskey cocktails and neat pours of Ardbeg whiskey, the specially crafted menu set the tone for a wonderful afternoon of celebration.

Canapes included rollmops in fresh herbs, smoked salmon blinis and scotch quail eggs. For something more substantial guests were served beef and Guinness pies, potato and leek soup, thyme, sage and parsley crumbed chicken and pails of battered fish and chips.

As the afternoon continued, a carvery bar was set up for guests to graze on beautifully roasted beef and a succulent pig on the spit accompanied by clapshot, potato and parsnip mash and a light kale salad with walnuts, apple and blue cheese.  

For a winter warmer, why not try one of these delicious Ardbeg cocktails…
