Treadwells at The Store in Oxford is launching literary dinners inspired by classic novels, each with a specially created menu and readings.
Treadwells at The Store in Oxford has launched a literary dinner series to celebrate the city's literary, culinary and social culture. The hotel, set in the historic Boswells Department store building on Broad Street, will host seasonal dinners in its restaurant, each inspired by a featured novel with a specially created menu drawing on the book's food, drink, characters and settings.
Each evening will feature selected readings and conversation accompanied by music and an atmosphere inspired by the featured work. The first dinner, on Friday, November 20, will focus on F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Broadcaster, cook and author Rosemary Shrager will guide guests with readings and observations, while a menu will recreate the decadence of Gatsby's parties. The second dinner, on Friday, March 19, will be inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.
The dinners have been created in partnership with Blackwell's Oxford. Every guest will receive a copy of the featured novel to take home. The series will support Sobell House charity, with £10 from every ticket donated to the cause.
