Food and beverage director, Timothy Jay, explains, “The new menu has been specially crafted with signature recipes from across the USA’s 50 states as well as much loved Creole classics such as chicken gumbo and seafood jambalaya. Anyone with a sweet tooth can savour the flavour of indulgent desserts including apple pie or, the Cravin’ Cajun favourite, peanut butter pie. There really is something for everyone.”
