The 5pm Dining blog has mixed feelings today. We are very pleased that Glasgow’s Gamba restaurant will celebrate its fifteenth birthday later this month.
We are less pleased to note that it only seems like yesterday that the West George Street seafood restaurant opened.
Where has the time gone? It used to be all fields around here etc…
Charity dinner
Anyway, Gamba is celebrating its anniversary by holding a charity dinner for the Fishermen’s Mission Charity.
On Tuesday 28 October, chef patron Derek Marshall will be preparing a greatest hits menu reflecting the restaurant’s most popular dishes from the previous fifteen years.
Foup’s up
On the menu for the charity dinner are some of Derek’s favourite dishes from the last two decades, including their infamous fish soup – ‘foup’ made with crabmeat, stem ginger, coriander, prawn dumplings, monkfish and king scallops.
Money raised by the charity dinner will go directly towards the work the Fishermen’s Mission carry out in Scotland – notably at their centre in Troon. The charity operates at 70 ports around the UK.
The charity dinner is £40pp including canapés and a glass of Kir Royale followed by a three course menu.
