Duck & Pinot - Chemistry Between Us
Some pairings are simply meant to be. This spring at The Fox Hole, we’re bringing duck and pinot together across five indulgent courses and five distinctive wines - from bright and delicate to earthy, savoury and richly expressive. Each pairing reveals a different chemistry of this classic relationship, building towards a match made in heaven.
Discovery Dinners are our way of turning a night at the bar into something more - thoughtful pairings and stories shared by our in-house wine team, who know their wine, pour it properly and keep things refreshingly unpretentious.
The Perfect Pair is Back
This October at The Fox Hole, we’re serving five duck-led courses - each paired with a distinctive pinot chosen to elevate what’s on the plate and in the glass.
True to our style, it’s never just food and wine. Our hosts will pour, pair and guide you through each match - exploring texture, balance, and why some combinations simply work. On their own, they’re impressive.
Proof that there's chemistry between us.
