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.

You may recall that two years ago Master Lindsay was going to celebrate her northern roots with a lunch at the Yang Sing restaurant in Manchester. The pandemic intervened and the event was postponed. We now have a new date and Hilary and current Master Estlin will be delighted if you can join them both on Friday 22nd April at the Little Yang Sing Restaurant (the Yang Sing is being refurbished), in Manchester's celebrated Chinatown. ‘The restaurant offers the best traditional Cantonese cuisine in the North West’ says one of the many glowing reviews. Tickets will be £69 each for a Chinese Banquet with drinks before, during and after the lunch. The venue is available to us from 12:30pm to 4:00pm
