18th century four star country house hotel and brasserie on the Essex/Suffolk border. But it will be the practical benefits that will sway you.
(1897)

Full of intriguing history, Wivenhoe House comes with magnificent period architecture and serenely landscaped gardens. Fusing the traditional with the contemporary, in the shape of the modern garden wing with The Brasserie, Wivenhoe House delights and intrigues in equal measure. Like the high ratio of staff to guests to ensure that your requests are dealt with swiftly and smoothly, like the wonderful brasserie restaurant with locally sourced menus, the large and light bedrooms, the WiFi and the modern technology.

One week to go.

For one evening only we welcome Anurag Aggarwal, MasterChef UK finalist.

Experience Anurag’s five-course tasting menu, a fresh perspective on Indian cuisine, blending bold flavours, personal storytelling, and elegant presentation across every course.

Expect everything from smoked paprika king prawns and slow-cooked marinated lamb, to saffron-infused rice dishes and a beautifully indulgent “Drunken Coffee” dessert finale.

A relaxed, intimate dining experience designed to be savoured slowly.

The menu has arrived.

We’re excited to share the five-course tasting experience Anurag will be presenting at Wivenhoe House, a menu inspired by memory, migration, and modern Indian flavours.

From Chana Jor Garam with spiced yoghurt shots, to slow-cooked lamb marinated for 48 hours, saffron-infused rice dishes, and a playful “Drunken Coffee” dessert, each course has been carefully designed to tell a story through flavour, texture, and emotion.

Vegetarian alternatives and w**e pairing suggestions are available throughout the experience.

This is more than a tasting menu, it’s an evening designed to stay with you.
