Taking inspiration from Army cuisine, Angus McCaig will be serving up an unforgettable 5 course themed Tasting Menu reinventing the components from a soldier's typical ration pack and Officer's food from the era.

A share of the evenings proceeds will be donated to 'The Baton' a local charity established last year by Honiton Barber and ex-serviceman Alan Rowe to help support the UK's armed forces veterans as they integrate back into society.

As well as hearing about the charitys work from Alan, diners will also be treated to stories from the special Guest Chef for the evening - Mary Mead (Gus & Joe's Gran), who now a spritely 94 years of age, spent World War II stationed in Dorchester ensuring the Officers were well fed each day.

Mary will also be joined by Mary Ann - her daughter and the co-founder of the nearby Otter Brewery so expect plenty of very amusing tales from this unique double act!
