The art of… Fine Dining

“One instinctively knows when something is right”, according to Croft Original. However, generally one only notices when something is wrong. This can be crucial in networking and social events as incorrect dining etiquette will be noticed- it can make such a difference in opportunities.

Perhaps you were the one who ate the bread roll actually belonging to the person sitting beside you…

Or maybe you were the one trying to copy which cutlery your fellow diners used because you were unsure…

Perhaps you just feel your dining etiquette needs refreshing.

Or you may simply fancy an entertaining, informative and fun fine dining experience in a high-class restaurant for a lunch or evening of fine food and good conversation whilst learning the traditions, idiosyncrasies and quirky practicality of fine dining etiquette!

Whatever the reason, these fun, engaging courses will teach you how to approach any fine dining experience with ease and confidence.

“Fine dining encompasses far more than the correct cutlery to use: confidence, cutlery, conversation”- Sophia Lingham
