The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa has a whole new menu, and part of it has been created just in time for the beginning of the rugby international season.
You will now find a selection of six small plates, matched with handpicked premium wines and local craft beers, called Paired, which is the hotel’s new food and drink programme. The first of the 2016 Paired season kicks off with a Six Nations rugby-themed menu, launched by Scottish rugby legend, Jason White.
The hotel’s Executive Chef Craig Hart drew inspiration from the six nations who participate in this exciting rugby tournament and the bar team carefully selected drinks to accentuate the flavours. The dishes include Haggis Bon Bons with a Talisker Whisky Brose paired with Bitter & Twisted Golden Ale to celebrate Scotland, while Italy is represented by an antipasti selection of sliced charcuterie, rosemary gordal olives, aged parmesan and gorgonzola, matched with a 2012 Chianto Classico Gran Selezione, Trambusti, Italian Wine. The Six Nations inspired plates, available daily in One Square Bar from 27 January until 19 March, are priced from £6.50, with paired drinks from £5.00.
Tristan Nesbitt, General Manager at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa commented: “The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is renowned as the gathering place during the Six Nations Tournament where guests, and many locals, meet to enjoy our fun atmosphere over a game of rugby. We are delighted to kick off this exciting tournament with our Six Nations Paired programme, one of many exciting themes for the year ahead.”
The Paired Programme, launched by Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, is designed to stretch the boundaries of traditional pairing principles by blending ingredients in new and unexpected ways for visitors and guests. Available at Sheraton properties worldwide, Paired is the latest of many initiatives underway for Sheraton 2020, an all encompassing plan designed to solidify Sheraton as a leading global hotel brand of choice, everywhere.
