Hello chaps!
I’ve been travelling this summer but the lure
of an appointment with the sheer loveliness of Brampton Grange was more than
enough to bring me back home.
The chaps at Brampton Grange (http://bramptongrange.co.uk/) really
are sitting on a hidden Northamptonshire jewel. You could be forgiven for
driving right by, if you didn’t know the delights that awaited you on the other
side of those automatic gates: 25 acres of beautiful Northamptonshire
countryside, once part of the Althorpe Estate is now an elegant and inviting
venue, befitting of the most note worth wedding, or indeed corporate event.
Brampton Grange is unlike any other wedding venue I have
come across. It’s small but experienced and dedicated team are more flexible
than an Olympic gymnast and are on hand to make your wedding truly ‘yours’.
There is no set formula here, to be strictly adhered to like so many other
venues. On the contrary, brides and grooms to be are encouraged to settle in,
make it home and create a fairy tale – their way.
Hot on the tails of MJOFOTO’s Food and Commercial
photographers, I made a beeline straight for the kitchen and was thrilled to
find that the catering at Brampton Grange is probably a couple of notches above
‘top’. The chaps in the kitchen offer a standard menu and a bespoke menu –of course,
I was more than willing to try both, but it’s the bespoke that really caught my
eye. Well, it would, wouldn’t it!
Starter
Pork and caramelised onion ballotine, with home-made pickles, carrot ketchup
and crispy berries.
Main Course
Sirloin steak, accompanied by wild mushroom stroganoff and potato
croquette
Dessert
Peanut butter mousse with shortbread crumb, white chocolate and mango
shards
If that isn’t enough to make a chap want to get married, I
don’t know what is… but in the absence of a bride and being a gentleman in possession
of the finest taste around, I am considering hiring out the top notch, eight
bed-roomed country house accommodation and having the chef on hand, simply for
the weekend. I may even invite a few pals and make something of a party of it
around the outdoor pool…
Tally ho chaps!
