£27.00 Victoria Cup Day - Ascot Races

Victoria Cup Day - Ascot Races

Sporting Event

Test header

The highlight of this two-day meeting is The Victoria Cup, a valuable seven-furlong heritage handicap that tends to attract proven course specialists and interesting, less exposed youngsters alike.

Cape Byron was a memorable winner in 2019, going on to land The Wokingham Stakes a month later. It is likely that some of the 2022 participants will return to contest this, or another of Royal Ascot’s major handicaps.

£45.00 Wild & farmed duck dinner & Pinot Noir at Boisdale

Wild & farmed duck dinner & Pinot Noir at Boisdale

Special Dinner - Boisdale of Belgravia
Mallard is the largest and most common of the wild ducks, followed by the smaller teal and widgeon. Wild duck has a slightly shaky reputation based on its unpredictable eating quality; at best it’s a delicious duck for roasting or stewing, at worst it’s a slightly tough specimen with an unpleasant fishy flavour. Most mallards sold for eating will have been farmed for shooting and had their natural diet supplemented with grain. As such, they’re generally a safer bet when it comes to flavour, although lack a little of the desirable gaminess that is characteristic of teal. Wild ducks have less fat than their farmed counterparts and roast more quickly.  The tasting will offer an opportunity to compare the two accompanied by generous quantity of good quality of Pinot Noir (tbc). 

MENU

Roast ducks: wild & farmed served with goose fat roast potatoes black kale, redcurrant gravy
