We would like to invite you to join us for a very special and unique evening, ‘Christmas with Caines’, a glittering gala wine dinner hosted by Michael himself in the Michael Caines Restaurant at ABode Exeter on Wednesday 18th December 2013.

Michael Caines MBE, two-star Michelin chef at Gidleigh Park, director and partner of ABode Hotels, will ensure that your holiday celebrations commence in great style. The evening begins with a Champagne and canapés reception and an opportunity to meet Michael, who will greet each diner personally.

Michael will introduce his Executive Chef Ian Webber, who together with his talented team, is charged with preparing an exciting menu of Michelin-starred foods devised by Michael himself. Steve Edwards, ABode’s Head of Group Service, will also co-host the evening with Michael, introducing and presenting a stunning array of wines, port and Cognac to accompany Michael’s cuisine.

This is an occasion above all of great foods, great wines, and good cheer amongst friends. Michael will entertain you in his inimitable style with stories and anecdotes, as well as introduce each course of a magnificent tasting menu, while Steve will give background information about the wines that he has carefully selected to complement each dish.

This is a very special gala evening, so dress is ‘black untied’, that is, jacket, but no tie required.
