ADVENT CALENDAR A scrumptious daily treat to enjoy during the countdown to Christmas. 24 chocolates to be savoured, one by one. SHOP IN STORE OR ONLINE AT WWW.BUTLERSCHOCOLATES.COM Terre POSH PLATES The name Lignum (Latin for wood) is a hint. Exciting, refined cooking over a wood fire is the concept and it works seamlessly with the dramatic backdrop. The ten-course tasting menu changes daily and includes the latest produce from Lignums seasonal larder with aged meats and fish cooked on Argentinian grills over embers of oak, ash and birch. Given its rural location, getting to Lignum can be a challenge, but there are a couple of local accommodation package options with taxis to and from the restaurant included. The ten-course tasting menu with snacks and petit fours is priced at 120 and is served Thursday to Saturday. Sunday lunch costs 55 for five courses. Both alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks pairings are offered, at 85 and 49 respectively.
