Medieval Banquets
Medieval Banquets
Blackfriars Medieval Banquets provide food-loving gourmets a chance to gorge themselves and ‘pigge’ out in true 13th century tradition with a feast of Lindisfarne Mead, spinach pyes, roast sausages, chicken, suckling ‘pigge’, honey-roast vegetables, condiments and sweet Michaelmas Pye. All washed down with flagons of specially made Benedictine ale, fine wine and medieval entertainment and served on large convivial and fruit-laden tables by monks and buxom wenches!
Medieval banquets
We run a number of medieval banquets throughout the year which may include a fabulous candle-lit 3 or 4 course feast with wine, bottles of ale and entertainment.
