Each dinner includes soup, bread, drink, dessert, and a handmade pottery bowl created by a local potter. Reserved tables and VIP attendees will have the opportunity for early arrival to choose the bowl of their choice. Guests also will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets online or that evening for a chance to win items such as a catered dinner by our own Chef Neil.
