Bank Holiday BBQ Extravaganza – Ophelia

Soak up some chilled summer vibes this May bank holiday with a BBQ feast at Ophelia, Gosforth.

Nick Grieves, chef and owner of the bistro, is joining forces with Ian Waller, head chef at Michelin-starred Restaurant Pine. Together, they’ll whip up a sensational summer storm that features:

  • Braised lamb neck (mushroom as the veggie option), caramelised tomato with koji and pumpkin seed, juniper yoghurt, jalapeƱo and rose hot sauce finished with fermented garlic honey and served with a fennel, pickled onion and caper salad.
  • Oysters and fermented red pepper juice, squid with cucumber nam jim and raspberries and tomato and melon in dashi.

Opt for a classic summer cocktail or glass of wine from Fond Wine, then sit back beneath the inflatable palm trees and enjoy the chilled beats as the guest DJ does their thing.

Entry even includes a welcome drink.
