If this doesn't convince you then nothing will ;) It is a bit pricey, I agree, but hei! - this is THE "all local and seasonal" meal, on a plate of a beautiful setting, and is in support to local suppliers! Come along, bring your partners and support this cause! You should see the gifts, raffle prizes and musicians that are going to play for you throughout the evening!

Let me know if you no longer can find that Invitation and see you on the 18th.
