Italian Festive Feast
4th December 2021, we here at the Oystercatcher held an Italian festive feast for the local community, we had fabulous real-life Italian cooking alongside the Chef to create a wonderful 3-course meal for everyone to enjoy.
We made sure it was Italian-themed through & through, with everyone sitting together, enjoying lots of red wine, limoncello & hearty Italian food.
Our Aim
We have joined together with our very lovely local Italian, Andrea Ladas, together we put together a menu for 30 people, our aim long term is to offer a supper club once a month for the community as we feel it's important, especially through these dark and cold months everyone has something to look forward to. We love the concept as it means we are able to sit down and enjoy the experience with everyone else. It gave us a chance to enjoy the company of our guests as well as some authentic Italian food... What a treat.
Each month we are hoping to offer a different corner of the world.
