About the event
This was a very special event - our first time bringing paying and non-paying guests together. And what a night! I've never felt so proud. Our chef Andi had a great view from the kitchen and summed it up beautifully, "It all felt good - the flow, the goodness around the room. You couldn't see the join." We set out to make Mike's Table a place where anyone and everyone can come and eat together. Tonight, on Valentine's night, we achieved this.

Kind words from our guests
“We had a wonderful time at the Mike's Table Valentine's Day dinner! The food was incredible, the ambience was warm, and we met other great people at our table. A really special way to spend Valentine's Day. We'd absolutely come back again.”
”Thank you to you and your team for such a great event, the acessibilty of it in terms of it being free is brilliant. Apart from the food being so delicious, (thank you for helping get the vegetarian option) everybody was so welcoming and friendly. It was really enjoyable to meet your friends S and S and also met another lady called K. Being at the event really lifted me as I suffer with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD social phobia and mild agraphobia.”
"The dinner table is a powerful thing." Thank you Louise and the amazing team of volunteers @mikesTableOrg for a wonderful evening. Meeting people and Sharing The Love #nonprofit #lesswaste #caregivers #refugees helping others to have an evening out who otherwise may not be able to.”
