National Trust opts for native wines
The National Trust’s licensed restaurants will now offer a selection of wines produced by Kent-based New Wave Wines and Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire
THE LATEST addition to dining at Mayfair’s The Connaught opened this month. Called Terrace, it is an outside eating area constructed on the corner of Mount Street and Carlos Place with a cool white canopy, opaque glass floor tiles and pale green wrought-iron tables and chairs.
The restaurant seats 35 people and is served by its own kitchen where Angela Hartnett and her team have created a menu suited to al fresco dining. IN A MAJOR drive to support local and regional suppliers, all 84 of The National Trust’s licensed restaurants will now offer a selection of wines produced by Kent-based New Wave Wines and Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire – both chosen because of their close associations with the Trust.
Quarter bottles of three of New Wave Wine’s award-winning Curious Grape white wines are available at the restaurants and full bottles will be offered at Trust venues that hold corporate functions or are licensed for weddings.
Waddesdon will provide quarter bottles of its red and Sauvignon Blanc, while other lines – such as its sparkling wine – will be introduced depending on the requirements of the restaurants.
