Local Flavor

Wine and delicious food!We were treated to an everning of wine tasting and some delicious little food treats to eat alongside two different wines. The food on offer was used to compliment the food and it sure did, scallops, liver parfait were just a small example of the fresh yummy produce of what you can enjoy…

This was a really great event. It’s funny how using the with word «wine» in an event title really rallies the troops! :) I ended up slightly squiffy by the end but that’s ok — I think my chat improves with alcohol (or at least that’s what I tell myself!) ha ha…So, why did I like it? Well. The company for one…

Did somebody say wine?Now, I will never claim to be a wine connoisseur. I like wine (when it’s good to me and not that sneaky git who hides my keys, as it sometimes is) and in my student days I became very adept at hiding the taste of a wine I don’t like. Wine tastings, to me, were for fancy people.Luckily…

What an winederful night! It all started with some meet and greet time, catching up with fellow friendly Unilocalers and settling in. The very dapper Pantry owners dad welcomed and informed us of the fresh local new menu the chef, Iain, made especially for this evening. All canapes were chosen to compliment the…

i’m a massive wine fan! red wine, white wine, rose wine, sparkling wine i’m happy for any of those to fill my glass! however, i sometimes struggle with wine tastings. see they’re all rather a bit formal and posh and i’m told how to taste the wine and swirl it around my tongue while trying to pick out hints of…

I really enjoyed this event, tasting wine with Nikki from Convivium Wines and trying out The Pantry’s food! The wine tube map is a great idea as I know next to nothing about wines. Also getting to try out great food that compliments each wine was brilliant as it’s not something I give much thought to if I am…

What a lovely evening this was. Lots of delicious wine, classy food and friendly faces!The owners of the Pantry were out of town, but had a nice substitute presenter, their dad, who was able to explain all the details of the food sourcing — using locals for the supply and occasionally some imports from…

I’d had a bit of a Unilocal event drought, so last night’s get together was a very welcome way to spend my evening.I’d never been to The Pantry before so it was great to go there and find out about what they offer. The food that was served up to us was delicious and complemented the wine beautifully. The only…

What a cool evening, and a great introduction to the Elite life :) Although the tables were all cleared away for this event, the Pantry seems like a really nice place and I certainly found myself nodding along with everything the owner said about its approach to food.The chef had clearly gone out of his way for…

I had not been to the Pantry before and really liked it, such a lovely place with wonderful friendly staff and owner. I thought the food was lovely and they did so well getting all the little tasters prepared for so many people. I loved the scallop dish with the rice and pea purée and the salmon was nice too…
