High Grange in Dalwood is teaming up with The Strawberry Tree restaurant in Lyme Regis to host a Spanish tapas masterclass and paella lunch this week.

The event will be held at High Grange on Friday, June 23 from 11am to 3pm and some last minute tickets costing £75 per person are available.

Those attending will be welcomed with a glass of Cava and can explore the High Grange gardens to the sound of Spanish guitar, before coming together for a masterclass in how to make classic tapas dishes.

The Strawberry Tree's Giselle Benrimoj and High Grange's Luke Vandore-Mackay will then be cooking paella in their woodland kitchen over the Vulcanus grill.

Sarah Vandore Mackay from High Grange said: "Spanish food is our favourite - Luke and my first ever holiday together was in Basque Country in San Sebastián, where we spent the whole day drinking Rioja and eating pintxos, with black cod from Cuchara de San Telmo and the best jamon, before heading up to the mountain Cideras for pork knuckle and limitless cider.

"So it was a delight to meet Gibraltan-born Giselle and Ed, who have the same love of Spanish lifestyle and food that we do, and their own beautiful restaurant and cookery school in the Town Mill oasis of Lyme. 

"We guarantee you'll be ready for your Summer holiday, filled with the joys of a Spanish summer, inspired by ideas for tapas suppers, and relaxed from a day in our woodland eating and chatting. And Luke will be doing a return match at The Strawberry Tree, bringing our barbecues to their lovely garden - watch this space!"
