Butchers’ Hall, London.

It is open to Liverymen of the WCB and also the wider industry to book now, and is the first dinner of the new livery year since the recent election of the WCB Court and its new Master, Gwyn Howells.

The dinner promises a unique evening of seasonal flavours and fine-dining with friends and colleagues. Elegant florals and candlelight will fill the venue to create the perfect ambience in a stunning setting. There will be musical entertainment from the hugely talented solo guitarist and vocalist Tom Butterworth, who will provide the perfect live soundtrack for an elegant evening.

“It’s an opportunity for… anyone connected with the meat industry to come and enjoy Butchers’ Hall.”

The night also features the popular Heads & Tails and a raffle, with prizes including a Michelin-starred restaurant experience for two (£620 value) and a Porky Whites Hamper.

Dress code will be black tie/evening attire/cocktail dress and the fun starts at 6.15pm with a sparkling drinks reception, before dinner commences at 7.00pm. The evening concludes at 11.00pm.
