A Chance to Spend an Evening With the Magnificent Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir
The Prize
Esteemed chef Raymond Blanc OBE takes centre stage for a wonderful celebration of his culinary genius. His restaurant Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons near Oxford, earned two Michelin-stars upon opening 35 years ago, and continues to inspire with its world-class gastronomic flair using outstanding organic produce.
You and your lucky guest will take the lavender lined footpath towards this spectacular venue and meet the man behind the awards over a glass of champagne. You’ll then take your seats for a feast like no other, indulging in four courses of sensational food and fine wines.
Whether you’re a connoisseur of French cuisine or not, this will be a night to remember where the intimate ambiance matches beautifully with the refined standard of cuisine.
