DATE

October 14, 2024

On Monday, 28th October, bake-off winner & restauranteur Candice Brown will join head chef Scott Smith for a special dinner that celebrates the very best of British Pub cuisine.

The Oarsman, Marlow’s beloved bistro-pub, has been cooking up something special for the next instalment of its Great British Pub Series.

Candice Brown, co-owner of The Green Man in Eversholt and Winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016, will join The Oarsman’s head chef Scott Smith for a special dinner that celebrates the very best of British pub cuisine on 28th October.

Candice will bring her unique flair and passion for traditional British food to The Oarsman for one night only. The evening’s menu (£60pp) will feature six expertly created courses that showcase the culinary talents of both Candice and Scott, and that highlight exactly why we’re a nation of pub food lovers.

The six-course feast will include:

• Beetroot and feta, Nigella seed soda bread with whipped roasted garlic butter
• * Scallop, XO sauce
• * Ham hock and chorizo Scotch egg, Scotch bonnet jam
• Cod, Cullen Skink
• Beef shin ale pie with suet pastry, cheesy leek mash
• Sticky toffee pudding, skillet pan cookie

For wine enthusiasts, each course can be expertly paired with a handpicked selection of wines, curated by The Oarsman’s owner and resident oenophile, Nigel Sutcliffe.

Born in north London, Candice grew up in the pubs her parents ran, an upbringing that she immortalised in her gingerbread showstopper on GBBO. Since her triumphant win, Candice has pursued a variety of exciting ventures, and in 2018, along with her brother Ben, she embarked on an exciting new chapter, taking over The Green Mann in Eversholt. Following a full refurbishment, the pub reopened in February 2019 to widespread acclaim and continues to be a hub of culinary innovation and community spirit.

“We are delighted to welcome Candice Brown to The Oarsman for what promises to be an unforgettable evening,” said Scott Smith, Head Chef at The Oarsman.
“Candice’s creativity and love for British pub classics perfectly align with our own philosophy, and I’m looking forward to getting in the kitchen with her to create something really special for our guests.”

Join The Oarsman for a night of exceptional food, great company, and the best of British pub culture! Tickets can be purchased here.
