A Night by the Fire: Dining Under the Stars at The Glenrock

Dining at The Glenrock isn’t just about food — it’s about place, mood, and the moment. Our bonfire dinners offer warmth, quiet, and a …

1. Setting the Scene: An Escape to the Mountains

Imagine escaping the hustle and bustle and arriving at The Glenrock, a secluded mountain retreat. The air is crisp, the silence is profound, and the only light pollution comes from the faint glow of the stars. The true magic begins when the sun sets, and the dining experience shifts outdoors.
Tip: Arrive before sunset to take in the mountain views and watch the light fade over the valley—it’s the perfect prelude to the evening ahead.

2. The Ambiance: Crackling Fire and Constellations

The centerpiece of the evening is a custom-built fire pit, where the flames dance and cast long, flickering shadows across the grounds. Guests dine at elegantly set tables positioned to take in a clear view of the stars, creating a setting that’s both intimate and expansive.
Tip: Choose a seat slightly away from the fire pit if you prefer more stargazing and less heat, or closer for that cozy campfire warmth.

3. The Menu: Himalayan Fusion with Local Flair

The Glenrock’s culinary philosophy centers on fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared with an international twist. Expect a three-course menu featuring dishes like slow-cooked mountain stew, flame-grilled trout, or hearty vegetarian specialties, all paired with carefully selected wines.
Tip: Let the staff know your preferences in advance—many dishes can be customized to suit spice levels or dietary needs without losing their authentic flavor.

4. The Experience: Interactive Grilling and Storytelling

More than just a dinner, this is an interactive gathering. Chefs may grill marinated skewers or paneer right over the fire, and as the night deepens, staff share local folklore or constellations overhead. It’s a rare blend of fine dining and fireside storytelling that turns the evening into a memory.
Tip: Don’t rush off after dessert—stay a while to enjoy the stories or simply listen to the sounds of the night. This is where the magic truly settles in.
