What’s On

This Father’s Day, gift him an afternoon to remember. Descend the stairs at The Baxter Inn for a guided tasting of rare whiskies, exploring the history, character and stories behind each dram.

The evening begins with a welcome cocktail, the ‘Horses Neck’, made with Johnnie Walker Black, Angostura bitters and dry ginger ale, before moving through five extraordinary half drams spanning some of the world’s most celebrated whisky regions: 

Glenfarclas 21 Year Old — Speyside

With notes of dark fruit, honey and soft spice, this dram is rich, sherry-forward and hails from one of the few Scottish distilleries still family owned and operated. Clean and light with a perfect level of sweetness, this Glenfarclas 21 year old dram is an easy introduction to sherry cask whisky.

Springbank 18 Year Old — Campbeltown

Coastal notes, orchard fruit, and a gentle smokiness make this dram a cult classic. Produced by one of Scotland’s great whisky-making families with a long tradition of traditional production. 

Glendronach 21 Year Old — Highland

With this dram, we move into a heavier and richer level of sherry. Aged for 21 years, this whisky is a revered classic in the sherry-forward whisky world and is distilled under the supervision of one of the industry’s greats Dr. Rachel Barrie. Expect notes of dark fruit, raisin cake, chocolate. 

Highland Park 19 Year Old SMWS — Islands

A naturally soft, gentle and heathery style of peat, Highland Park is a kind introduction to peated whisky. This dram is a perfect opportunity to explore the difference between an original and independent bottling.

Ardbeg 19 Year Old Traigh Bhan — Islay

A dram to be remembered. With notes of iodine, spice, smoke, Ardbeg is a heavily peated annual release. Aged in American Oak and Oloroso casks, this whisky showcases how time in wood can soften and transform Ardbeg’s signature smoke.

Whether he’s a dedicated whisky drinker or new to the spirit, this tasting is designed to welcome both, gradually building from classic and approachable to rich, smoky and distinctive.

La Vie Royale 

Restaurant Hubert presents La Vie Royale: an intimate evening of live performance, free-flowing French wine and theatrical indulgence in the heritage Theatre Royale.

Inspired by the grand salons and smoky cabarets of another era, each performance unfolds as a delightfully unpredictable evening of music, comedy, glamour and impossible feats, accompanied by Hubert’s unmistakable hospitality.

Expect a cast of extraordinary performers drawn from the worlds of cabaret, circus, burlesque and live theatre. There may be soaring vocals, dazzling showgirls, razor-sharp wit, astonishing acts of danger, moments of absurdity and just enough beautiful chaos to remind you that the best nights are never entirely sensible.

Throughout the evening, wine is poured generously and passed amongst the room in the spirit of celebration, while an intermission feast from Restaurant Hubert’s kitchen offers an indulgent pause before the curtain rises once more.

No two evenings are ever quite the same. New performers, new surprises and new stories ensure that every edition of La Vie Royale is its own fleeting occasion; impossible to recreate and best enjoyed in good company.

Two tiers of tickets are available:

• “Front Row Feast” front of stage, for the best seats in the house. These tickets are highly exclusive and reserved for those wishing to exist in the eye of the action, a fully immersive dining experience, with Hubert’s grand plats of charcuterie and cheese, a French banquet for an intermission indulgence and free-flowing wine for the duration of the event.
• “Admission De Luxe” Theatre seats, privy to elevated view and grand plats of charcuterie, cheese and baguettes as well as free-flowing wine.
