This annual City institution has grown over the years until it is now quite the largest and swankiest Curry Lunch one is every likely to attend, and very much a sight to be seen.

Tickets cost £100 and for that we get a drinks reception in the Old Library at Guildhall and then move through into the Great Hall, where teams of chefs man a series of serveries, with a mouth-watering series of curries laid out on them, along with the usual accompaniments.

We always take a party, so book your place(s) here and then we can all coordinate over timings, as the event itself runs from Noon to 3pm, with various time slots on offer.
