Gather friends and family, and dine through the decades with us.

Thursday 20th March – The 70s
Concluding our series will be the iconic 70s, a very distinct era of British cookery with the rise of fridges, freezers and canned food. Britain was truly in their post-war era and it was all about having fun with wacky and colourful dishes.
Expect some nostalgic favourites such as Compressed pineapple and cheddar, Devilled eggs and the Classic prawn cocktail. The dinner will finish with show stopping ‘Orange en surprise’ and Pink blancmange with green jelly.
