As the tradition has it, we have specialities from many Elven areas; Lindon, Lothlórien and of course only the best local treats from Imladris. The food is cooked by Telpenaro of Nargothrond, a passionate farmer and a chef.
Guests will find a selection of food on the tables, free for them to take.

⚜ Giant Cake: Laurina Celumë
On a giant three-tier cake tray stands a creamy and swirly cheesecake with a buttery biscuit base, draped with a stream of flowing caramel. The swirls are made of cloudberries, an elusive fruit with a surprisingly rich taste. In a way this cake has “golden” written all over it.
