Some diary dates from Christian and the team at the fine eating establishment that is Jardine on the corner of the High Street and Belle Vue Road. A fantastic range of events has been put in place for the coming month, proving that it’s not all about the fine cuisine, fantastic though it is…

First off we have Fishy Tales on Sunday 27th February at 7pm:

“Dr. Leanne Hepburn, Marine Biologist at Essex University, will be talking about sustainability and how market demands have affected fish stocks. Enjoy our special five mini course tasting menu whilst learning about alternatives to look for when eating at home and in restaurants.”

What a wonderful meeting of the mind and menu, with a Wivenhoe splash of locality added in as well. Entrance is £20, which seems like fine value for money for a five mini course meal.

Moving on and on Monday 7th March there is a private viewing to welcome artist Lee Thomas to Jardine. I say private viewing, but a polite email expressing an interest to the very good @JoJoColchester should gain you entry.

And then to start the weekend on Friday 18th March, there will be a Meet the Author evening with Richard Zilmer, talking about his latest novel, The Warsaw Anagrams. As some background reading:

“Richard’s eight novels, The Angelic Darkness, Unholy Ghost, The Search for Sana, The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, Hunting Midnight, Guardian of the Dawn, The Seventh Gate and the new The Warsaw Anagrams, have been translated into more than 20 languages and have been bestsellers in 15 countries, including the USA, Britain, Portugal, Brazil and Italy. He has won the Prix Alberto Benveniste in 2009 and the 1998 Herodotus Award.”

And now he’s coming to Wivenhoe.

Wonderful.

Admission to this event is free. However spaces are very limited and can be reserved confirming your interest calling 01206 820390.

And so there we have it - something fishy, something artistic and something literary. Which all sounds like the perfect approach for Wivenhoe entertainment.

I told you it’s not all about the nosh…
