Christmas at Forte Kitchen 2015

Christmas in Winchester is truly magical and we are very excited for our first Christmas as the Forte Kitchen.

Olly has been working hard on this year’s Christmas menu. Naturally he found the creative process somewhat harder right at the start, and spent a lot of time staring at a blank piece of paper. So, he turned to the team for inspiration, asking everyone what their favourite Christmas dish is. Once he got us started we couldn’t stop and hopefully we helped him a bit, although I’m not sure how inspiring pigs in blankets was for him!

Needless to say Olly has created a mouth-watering Christmas menu using local and seasonal produce and something for everyone. Take a look at the Forte Christmas offering below.
