EditorEating with a difference: Dining in the dark.
Fans of fine food in the Swansea area can put their dexterity to the test at a special event in the Vanilla Pod restaurant in Gower College on Thursday October 9.
The venue, a catering college, is holding a Dine in the Dark experience in aid of Guide Dogs Cymru. Diners will be invited to put on a blindfold, challenge their senses and enjoy a sumptuous set menu. Tickets are £32.50 each, with £7.50 from each sale going to Guide Dogs.
The event starts at 5.15pm with a chance to meet some local guide dogs and puppies before diners are taken to their seats at 5.45pm.
The set menu includes mushroom arancini, cauliflower soup with curry oil and crispy cauliflower florets, ham hock terrine, supreme of chicken with a chicken and tarragon mousse plus a white wine velouté served with fondant potato and seasonal vegetables (vegetarian option available on request), lemon tart with a fresh berry compote and clotted cream, and sherry truffle petit fours.
Ruth Evans, Community Fundraising Manager for Guide Dogs Cymru, said:
“This is a rare opportunity to switch off your senses, tuck into some fine food and support a charity that is changing the lives of people right here in Swansea.”
