Feast on Cloud 9
THE GROVE, HERTFORDSHIRE
24 MAY - 31 AUGUST 2025
Our fleet of beautiful balloons will landing at The Grove hotel once again for summer 2025…and we’ll be taking guests on a culinary journey to the seaside!
As with previous years, the pop up will feature 14 of our hand-crafted hot air balloons, each with a large wicker dining basket beneath a beautiful red and white striped canopy. New for 2025, we will also have 14 beach huts, so that your dining experience is unforgettable, whatever the weather.
Whilst the balloons remain grounded, prepare for taste buds to soar as we serve afternoon tea and an evening tasting menu, both complete with nostalgic seaside treats such as a trip to our vintage ice cream van.
