Secret Dinner Society

SHU has partnered up with a local social enterprise called the Real Junk Food Project (RJFP) to put on a dinner with a twist! The third Secret Dinner Society takes place on Thursday, 6 July from 7pm at an unspecified off-campus location (in the City centre).

A payment of £3 secures you a place and a welcome drink, then you will be invited to ‘pay as you feel’ at the end of the meal, with proceeds going to the RJFP. The meal is cooked by our Executive Chef, Darren Procter. The details of the dining venue will be released once you have booked your tickets. Book your place here.
