DALLYING AND DINING IN GEORGIAN PLEASURE GARDENS
Join us for a virtual gathering where we travel to the eighteenth-century and enjoy entertainment, food, drink and gossip in elegant outdoor settings. We’ll visit mainly Vauxhall but we will also touch on Ranelagh, Mary-le-Bone, Bagnigge Wells and others.
Sarah will be telling you about the history of pleasure gardens during the Georgian era and of what those attending got up to; the fashions, the music and the scandals in dark corners!
Paul will be showing you what would have been eaten from the comfort of your supper box in Vauxhall. He’ll take you through an entire Vauxhall menu with such delights as thinly-sliced ham, cold chicken, cheesecake, sweet pastries and Shrewsbury cakes with live demonstrations from his kitchen. Good plain English food and the beginning of catering for the masses.
You will leave with a workbook complete with details of the presentation, recipes and ingredients for you to create your own Vauxhall meal at home.
