Back for the sixth year, Joe Allen along with college friends Trung Nguyen and Aaron Thomas are organising a charity dinner to raise money for Meningitis Now after Joe tragically lost his brother Tom in 2012. Aaron and Trung are both running the Virgin London Marathon this year to help push those funds raised. The event itself will take place on Friday 13th March at Westminster Kingsway College; their old catering college. It will consist a five course meal plus canapes, glass of bubbly on arrival and some wine with meal for £65. We will also run a charity auction and table raffles on the night too.

Courses will be cooked by:

Canapes from My neighbours the dumplings including caviar from Exmoor caviar and truffles from Wiltshire Truffle

Bread and table snacks from Adam Handling, Frog Restaurant

Starter from Kiran Deeny of Hide

Fish from Will Devlin of the Small Holding in Kent

Main from Calum Franklin of Holborn Dining Rooms

Dessert from Alex Harper of The Yard
