Dinner with the Angels

For the past four years, we have been honoured to have been invited by our dear friends Rob & Lorraine to attend Anglicare's biggest fundraising event the Dinner with the Angels.  This year, twenty-two of Melbourne's top chefs from our best restaurants prepared the most wonderful meals for over four hundred guests, who had attended the event at the National Gallery of Victoria to help raise funds for Melbourne's most underpriviledged.
