Rotters' Fête du Beaujolais

Noble Rot is known for throwing an uproarious party on Bojo Novo Day, when the Bloomsbury wine bar invites pals from iconic foodie destinations across the globe to collaborate on a special menu. This year, the turn of Parisian bistro Vantre; owner Marco Pelletier will curate a special wine list, while head chef Satria Vue will serve up eclectic delights including Cantonese steamed turbot and wild fowl and foie gras wellington. The full menu will set you back £125, excluding wine and service. But if you want to treat your tastebuds without pushing the boat out, fear not. From 4.30pm-7pm you can stop by Noble Rot’s bar on Lamb’s Conduit Street for a free tasting with some of the juicy red variety’s finest producers. Tastings are walk-in only, but you’ll need a reservation for dinner after 6pm.
