Due to popular demand, we are excited to announce the return of our much loved Italian Long Lunch collaboration for October! This is a special event brought to you by Balboa Italian and The Valley Estate. Come and join us for a Sunday celebration to remember!

The Italian Long Lunch will be held across the whole of The Valley Estate, including both our Glasshouse and Manor.

Upon arrival, make your way to The Glasshouse to enjoy an Aperol spritz and canapés, before moving to The Manor for the seated portion of this Italian Long Lunch celebration. This space will be adorned with ancient olive trees, accompanied by views of The Valley Estate’s lush garden surrounds, bringing the essence of the outdoors in. Combining celebrated dishes from Balboa Italian, with the refined elegance of The Valley Estate.

Like every Italian family gathering, there is always room for one more at our table. We look forward to hosting you on Sunday 20th October at The Valley Estate.
