Caribbean culinary traditions will take center stage this July when Sam Lord’s Castle at Wyndham Grand Barbados hosts The Navigator’s Table: The Provision Ground. This is an immersive fine dining experience that celebrates the region’s rich agricultural heritage through an entirely plant-based menu.
This one-night event, scheduled for Saturday, July 18, is part of The Navigator’s Table residency series. Presented by Best Dressed Plate, this event is held in partnership with Wyndham Grand Barbados and Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. The dinner brings together four renowned Caribbean chefs to collaboratively develop an eight-course tasting menu inspired by the Caribbean’s historic supply areas – the fertile lands that have supported island communities for generations.

Event information
The Provision Ground is the Caribbean’s first fine dining experience featuring a completely plant-based eight-course menu. The event will showcase regional ingredients, root vegetables, spices and culinary traditions from across the Caribbean. Each course tells the story of the island’s agricultural heritage while highlighting the innovation and creativity of modern Caribbean cuisine.
Guests can enjoy a cocktail reception, expertly paired wines and spirits, and live presentations by the chef who will share the inspiration and cultural significance behind each dish. Organizers say the evening will celebrate both the history of Caribbean food and the development of plant-based Caribbean gastronomy.
