Charity Restaurant

The Third Charity Dinner

Old School Room Friday 28th November 2008

An ambitious menu and a record attendance contributed to a great evening for our Michaelmas Term Charity Dinner. ‘Student Chefs’ Nick Kent-Smith (a), Merlin Goldsworthy (b), Hugo Gent (b), James Beckett (e) and Hugo Morisetti (b) were cajoled and pressured by The School’s own chefs during the term and showed their skills in producing a menu to rival any top restaurant. Their dedication was rewarded by sixty four willing customers who filled The Old School Room.  The boys compiled the menu which included Asparagus wrapped in Parma ham with Hollandaise Sauce, Venison fillet with a glazed shallot and red wine jus, Poussin stuffed with Wild Mushroom seasoning, Winter Berries Syllabub, Chocolate Truffle Torte and some fine local cheeses.

This ever-popular event offers some interesting experiences for Sherborne’s sixth form students and raises money for the School's adopted charities. It is hoped that already the next selected student chefs are ready to meet the challenges that next term's dinner will present them, the bar has been raised!  The date for your diaries is 21st March 2009.
