Celebrate a taste of the season by putting together delicious garden-to-table recipes. Baked autumn fruits bubbling up through crumble topping, just starting to singe on the edges. Lopsided Yorkshire puddings, risen golden to the tops, buttery yellow in the centre. Let pared-back white stoneware showcase the colours and scents of autumn cooking, and raise a toast to laughter, hearty feasts and sparkling company.

Against the backdrop of turning leaves in shades of red, brown and orange, with conversation that flows as easily as the wine. Create a dining setting that captures the essence of harvest time. Set the scene by dotting rustic displays around the table – seasonal foliage, sprigs of moss or fern, pumpkins and acorns.

These are the days that don’t have to end as soon as the sun disappears over the horizon. Sturdy lanterns help darkening nights last a little longer with dancing dapples of glow. As you embrace the warming flicker of a candlelit ambience, just gaze upon the stars, wishing this moment could last forever.
