The Sharing Table at Gotham

Glorious Food in Gotham

The Sharing Table Dinner Party at Gotham saw more than 60 people attending to share the joy of eating together and try some new dishes. £460 was raised by donations and tickets sold.

Copies of the book sold like hot cakes! We have 150 new copies printed and ready for you to get yours.

It was a truly wonderful time together with a talk from Charity Director, Adam Baker.

A mezze inspired menu put together by the help of volunteers, some from refugee backgrounds and other foodies who joined in and made for great spread of salads, flatbreads, dips and a warming winter soup.

The desserts were cakes and middle eastern sweets were enjoyed by everyone.

A short video coming soon...
