The Blaggers’ Banquet

Dear all,

as you would have understood by now, here at Food For Friends Yeah we love our food, we love sharing our food, but we also know that sadly there are millions of people in this world that do not have the luxury of doing so.

Every day thousands of kids die of starvation and whereas there is no quick solution to the problem every little helps which is why the London Food & Drink bloggers (and others who blog too, but not strictly about food & drink) have got together to raise some awareness of the problem and try to make a little difference.

On November 15^th, we will be taking over Hawksmoor, the revered steakhouse in Liverpool St, for The Blaggers’ banquet.

A first for Londoners – the banquet will be an exciting 5 course dinner with matched drinks, created entirely by food and drink bloggers, and using only food and drink that they have blagged. All proceeds will go to Action Against Hunger.

Bloggers will be the cooks and the sommeliers, front of house  (where you will find yours truly) and the prep folk, the kitchen porters and the cleaner uppers.
We’ll staff the bar, make the cocktails and make the coffee, and best of all diners can review us when we are done.

The menu will feature Chapel Down sparkling wine on arrival, Wagyu Beef and sustainable yellow kingfish among others. There will be music on arrival and canapés. Vegetarians and people with dietary restrictions will be catered for.

There will also be a blaggers’ auction, where we will be auctioning exciting items we’ve blagged. This auction will be two fold, a portion of it on the night, and the rest in the weeks following.  Tickets are on sale now in pairs for £150 and one table of 5 for £375. 5 pairs of tickets will be auctioned started from £75.  Tickets are available on ebay: http://bit.ly/19WuSA

So make sure you buy yours quickly and come join us for what is going to be one of the most fun fundraisers of the year!
