Feast on Cloud 9 at the Grove | Hot air balloon dining
This Summer, Hertfordshire hotel and spa, The Grove will launch a host of seasonal experiences as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations, one of them being Feast on Cloud 9. As a standout staycation destination in the UK with a wide range of experiences and close proximity to London, The Grove is one of the UK’s most exciting luxury resort estates, catering to every taste with its diverse offerings and activities.
We love the idea of the balloons in the garden of hotel The Grove, very picturesque. Here in the Netherlands we have chef Angélique Schmeinck who creates the most delicious dishes in real hot balloons at CuliAir Sky Dining. For those who love to have the images of eating in a hot air balloon but who chickens out of the real experience, Feast on Cloud 9 is much more appropriate. 🙂
