Those who book a table can look forward to a six course meal with some extra chef bites and all profits for both evenings will be donated to the charity.

Head Chef David Hussey feels this issue in the profession needs support and is a subject close to his heart.

He said: “The hospitality industry has had some real knocks during the peaks of COVID and this has highlighted an issue that has been prevalent for many years. As the festive season approaches and we regain some ground, it feels that now is the right time to raise awareness of concerns over mental health.”
