BBC MasterChef judge and restaurant critic William Sitwell is relocating his renowned supper clubs to a Wiveliscombe hotel he reopened earlier this month.

Mr Sitwell, who also writes for the Daily Telegraph newspaper, has been holding fine dining supper clubs in a converted cow shed at his farmstead home a few miles outside of Wiveliscombe for the past three years.

Now, the White Hart Hotel, which he reopened in partnership with Jon Coward, of the Black Bear pub just across the road, is to be the venue for his next supper experience.

It will be a Burns Night occasion on Friday, January 23, which Mr Sitwell said promised to be ‘a feast for the senses grounded in the finest traditions of Scottish poet Robbie Burns’.

Mr Sitwell said: “While the chilly airs of West Somerset blows amok, guests will enjoy drinks, dinner, and festivities in the new Sitwell Supper Club home of The White Hart.

“Dinner will be a fabulously generous feast of multiple courses, of canapés, broth shots, blinis, sorbet, mains, and a wickedly divine pud.

“At the stove for the night is local game chef, the award-winning Jaimie Haselock, who has 20 years’ experience as a private chef cooking for Hollywood actors and film directors, rocks stars, and shooting parties.

“With the help of our fabulously kilted regular duo of piper and ode deliverer you will arrive to the sound of pipes and later experience a truly authentic piping in of the haggis and the famous ode, the loyal address, and, of course, various toasts, to the lads and the lassies.”

Mr Sitwell is co-director of the historic White Hart coaching inn, where he has opened a restaurant with an Italian menu.

But for the Burns Night supper, the restaurant will be given a Caledonian flavour.
