Hounds for heroes 'Dogs Dinner'.

;

Welcome to the website for “The Dogs Dinner” a National Dinner Party to be held in aid of Hounds for Heroes on the 14th and 15th of September, 2012.

So what is a National Dinner Party?

Quite simply, it’s what you want it to be. We envisage a number of scenarios, ranging from “a Restaurant in my House”, a quiet dinner party for friends, to beer and pizza in front of the telly/PlayStation. All these scenarios have one thing in common – To raise money for Charity – Hounds for Heroes.

Pop–Up Restaurant

Only for the brave (or foolhardy!). In due course we will publish ideas about how to turn your house into a pop up restaurant. However, you might like to think about the following:

Diners experiencing the delights of a genuine pop up restaurat

How many diners you can comfortably fit in your house
Where the diners will sit in relation to the kitchen
How you will serve them
Whether you will offer a set menu, or a choice
How you will attract the punters
Serving of drinks – will you charge corkage?
Approaching butchers/greengrocers to donate supplies
Tables/Chair
Crockery/Cutlery/Glassware
Washing up

…… and I am sure you will think of lots more – if so let us know!

Host a Dinner Party

If you would rather host a Dinner Party, then almost certainly you will know how to do it.Think about your guest list and who will get on – equally important is who is likely to appreciate the food and the cause and donate lots of cash in appreciation of your efforts!Perhaps you might like to organise the event as a safari supper, with donations in each house.

You might also approach butchers and greengrocers to see what they might donate.

Please just keep us abreast with what your plans are and keep coming back for updates and to see if any celebrity chefs take up the menu challenge.

Beer, Pizza, PlayStation Party!

We’re sure you are in for a grand old Party, whether on the PlayStation, the girly night in with the RomCom DVD and the tissues, or the Party Poker. Just remember to collect the donations before your guest leave after your all night thrash!
