Sips and Tastings at Picnic, Brodick
23 Oct - 1 Nov 26
Picnic, The Pier, Brodick
Picnic, the new deli, cafe and bar at Brodick Pier, marks the Arran Festival of Food & Drink with sampler tastings of food and drink made on Arran, celebrating the island's craft brewing, distilling and food traditions, from cheese and oatcakes to whisky, beer and tablet. Try its new wine and cocktail menus with snack pairings, and hear the stories behind the produce in informal foodie chats.
