MacSorley's is heading to the Highlands for Maggie's

Keen readers of the blog will know that May has been a busy month for Who Gives a Fork, the campaign which the Glasgow Restaurant Association is running in order to raise money for Maggie’s Glasgow.

The events continue this Sunday with a Highlander’s Banquet at Biadh in MacSorley’s Music Bar on Glasgow’s Jamaica Street.

MacSorley’s is celebrating its Highland and Island heritage with a feast of Scottish food, whisky, ale and music.

From spit-roasted Highland beef to a banquet of fresh island seafood and Highland produce, organisers promise that it will fill the belly of the hungriest Highlander.

Whisky sampling, ale tasting and a few other surprises are also included in the price.

The blog interviewed Biadh’s chef Sam Carswell last year as part of our Chewin’ the Fat series.

His views on Scottish produce and Fanny Craddock are here.

The event takes place on Sunday 29th May, from 5pm till late. Tickets cost £25 (+ 75p Booking Fee) per person. You can book here.

All proceeds go to Maggie’s Centre.

If Sunday seems a long time to wait then there is a similar event taking place this Friday lunchtime at Alla Turca on Glasgow’s Pitt Street.

For this event, the GRA and Alla Turca have teamed up to host a three course Turkish lunch with champagne cocktails in aid of Maggie’s.

The event will take place on Friday the 27th May from 12.30pm till 2pm.

Tickets are £15.95 (+48p Booking Fee) per person and they can be booked from here.
