Mary Berry, The Hairy Bikers, Brian Turner, Lisa Faulkner and Alexander’s!
With over 250 foodie experts, 12 AA Rosette & Michelin starred chefs, live music and four of the biggest names on TV, the fourth annual Yorkshire Dales Food and Drink Festival taking place just outside Skipton is set to be the best yet… so imagine our delight when we were invited to host the festival’s VIP Experience!
At Alexander’s ‘VIP’ really means VIP, so we have been working hard over the last few months to create an experience fit for the queen of the chefs herself, Mary Berry!*
The VIP Lounge hosted by Alexander’s will be offering all day dining, full table service, a BBQ menu, plus cosy fire pits and live jazz in the evenings.
Rachael Higgins, founder of the festival told us: “I really like Alexander’s style and the fact that they offer something special and unique in Skipton, so I thought they would be the perfect partners to run our new VIP Lounge.”
Those with VIP tickets can access the restaurant from 9am to 4pm to take advantage of the yummy Alexander’s menu, which includes its most popular Brunch items, like The Benedicts, the sumptuous full Vegetarian Breakfast with grilled halloumi and vegetarian black pudding along with Pancakes and Homemade Granola. The all-day BBQ will also be serving up treats like Treacle Beef Burger, Yorkshire Lamb Burger and Halloumi Brochette, there will also be a selection of Alexander’s signature Sharing Boards available. All VIP guests will also receive a complimentary glass of fizz.
Children can also look forward to their own breakfast and main meals menus and by prior arrangement Afternoon Teas can be booked.
If you aren’t a VIP don’t worry as from 4pm the VIP Lounge will be open to everyone, offering the perfect spot for a cocktail or two from its vibrant bar, whilst those looking for a change of pace and somewhere to relax after a hectic day can kick back and enjoy the table service, warming fire pits and laid back live jazz.
Find the VIP Lounge hosted by Alexander’s right next to the celebrity chef arena.
