For Trump’s visit, the 160 guests, sitting behind 1,452 pieces of cutlery, were eating from a menu, written in French, which translates as:

  • Hampshire Watercress Panna Cotta with Parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad
  • Organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes with a thyme and savoury infused jus
  • Vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria plums

Guests had a generous wine list.

  • Wiston Estate, Cuvée, 2016
  • Domaine Bonneau de Martray, Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2018
  • Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, 2000
  • Pol Roger, Extra Cuvée de Réserve, 1998
