A fleet of bespoke vintage hot air balloons has descended upon The Grove Hotel this spring and summer. From now, all the way until September, you can hop aboard and experience an immersive dining experience like no other.
In partnership with Feast on Cloud 9, these specially-commissioned red and white balloons have been grounded within the picture-perfect gardens of The Grove, where they overlook the flowing waters of the magical ornamental canal.
Guests can choose to dine from the nine-course tasting menu (yes, you read that correctly) or tuck in to a delicious afternoon tea – whatever floats your boat (or your balloon).
Feast is renowned for hosting creative, experiential events and their central focus is always the food so you can pretty much guarantee that it’s going to be good. The fact you’re sat in an adorable vintage hot air balloon, surrounded by 300 acres of stunning countryside is just the cherry on top!
Allow your taste buds to soar without your feet having to leave the ground. Dishes include the likes of lobster en-croute, which is carved right at the table, and an edible strawberry pavlova cloud. There’s a children’s menu available too, making this a culinary journey that the whole family can embark on.
Tables can be booked in groups of between four and six due to the size of the baskets. Oh, and just in case our good old British weather isn’t cooperating, there’s a secret indoor area for you to continue to enjoy your feast.
The balloons are available all throughout the summer up until September 1. Perfect for those long, sun-soaked evenings we (sometimes) enjoy at this time of year.
