About the event

'Here Comes Summer' was an event held at the Spitalfields City Farm, hosted by Mike's Table. Over the course of two evenings the team prepared and delivered two delicious three-course meals made from surplus food. The backdrop for the event, the wonderful Spitalfields City Farm, provided an oasis of calm in the middle of London. The combination of eating 'al fresco', watching the sun go down over the City and eating fantastic, professionally cooked food was a highlight for many of the guests.

Both evenings started with a welcome drink reception. On the second evening, guests were invited to try a drink from a range of mocktails - the 'Spitalfield Sunrise', a refreshing strawberry based mocktail, was the biggest hit. After all the guests had arrived, they were all led to the tables, laden with artisan bread.

As is common at a Mike's Table event, the evenings weren't just about the food, they were also about the conversation! There was a pleasant hum of discussion and laughter throughout both evenings. Many of the comments about the events have stated how lovely it was to meet other people in a friendly, informal and relaxed environment.

As the sun set, candles were lit on the tables and the nights came to a close. The guests departed with full stomachs and smiles on their faces.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this fantastic occasion, we hope you can come again soon!
