Sicilian Gourmet Evening – 17 September 2026

The Bell Hotel Saxmundham is excited to present its final gourmet evening of the year. Taking place on 17th September 2026, diners will enjoy a fabulous evening of Sicilian food, inspired by the sun drenched kitchens, vineyard lined hillsides of Sicily.

Each course celebrates the island’s bold flavours and rustic elegance, crafted to pair beautifully with its vibrant wines. Settle in, sip generously, and let the warmth of the Mediterranean unfold plate by plate. Tickets are £87.50 per person.

To guide guests through the pairings, wine expert Charlie Monro from Berkmann’s Wines will be hosting the evening.

Sicilian Evening Menu

Assagini
Crispy Calamari & Lemon Aioli
A golden bite of tender calamari, kissed with wild oregano and paired with a bright, zesty lemon aioli – a little taste of the Mediterranean to awaken the palate.
Antipasto
Grilled Aubergine Involtini
Charred aubergine ribbons wrapped around whipped ricotta, lifted with fresh mint and a hint of lemon zest. A soft, smoky, herb laced beginning inspired by Sicilian gardens.
Fish Course
Pistachio Crusted Swordfish
Succulent swordfish coated in a vibrant pistachio crust, served alongside a refreshing salad of shaved fennel and sweet orange. A classic island pairing of sea breeze and citrus groves.
Meat Course
Slow Braised Sicilian Lamb
Melt in the mouth lamb shoulder braised with rosemary and finished with a silky almond jus. Served with saffron infused potatoes and charred rosemary courgettes. A hearty nod to the island’s rustic countryside feasts.
Dessert
Lemon & Olive Oil Cake
A fragrant, sun drenched cake made with Sicilian olive oil, drizzled with bright citrus syrup and topped with a cloud of mascarpone. Simple, elegant, and irresistibly Mediterranean.

Guests are welcome from 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.

Tickets are £87.50 per person, with a £20 non‑refundable deposit required on booking. The balance is payable on the day. Please let the team know of any dietary requirements when booking. Deposits can be transferred with at least seven days’ notice, subject to an administration fee.
