Feast on Cloud 9
THE GROVE, HERTFORDSHIRE
24 MAY - 31 AUGUST 2025
Our fleet of beautiful balloons will landing at The Grove hotel…and we’ll be taking guests on a culinary journey to the fairground!
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. 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 fairground treats.
