The annual fundraising lunch, brought to life by The HAC and its inhouse caterer Searcys, aims to support the charity's mission to rebuild lives through employment opportunities in the hospitality sector.

This unique event showcases the sector's talent, with a menu designed by Michelin-starred chef and Only A Pavement Away patron Tom Aikens. The event emphasises the charity's belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to be part of a supportive team and build a rewarding career, regardless of their past circumstances.

Greg Mangham, chief executive of Only A Pavement Away, said: “We are excited to announce that Searcys and The HAC is hosting our flagship fundraising events - Cook & Dine this year. The event will be at the famous Honourable Artillery Company – a stunning venue.

“The money raised from this event will be used to support our members. The generosity and support of Searcys has been amazing and has allowed us to grow the event capacity by hosting it for the first time in this exciting venue. We look forward to welcoming everyone at the HAC in September.” 

The charity event is now sold out; however, the organisers are looking for raffle prizes to be won on the day.
