Some meals are too good to keep to yourself.

Introducing our new Wednesday dinner experience - a shared menu designed for sharing, lingering and making memories.

Whether it’s date night, dinner with friends, or an excuse to slow down midweek, this is your invitation to gather, savour and connect.

Because the best stories are told over dinner - and the best food is meant to be shared.

VenU Restaurant will be closed for normal lunch and dinner service from Wednesday 24 to Friday 25 June as students prepare and deliver the VU Charity Dinner!

A favourite event in VenU's calendar, cookery and kitchen management students are currently busy prepping to deliver a five course degustation to over 100 guests under the guidance of guest Chef Philippe Mouchel.

Hospitality students will served paired wines alongside event management students coordinating all fundraising through a silent auction to raise funds for The Burnt Chef Project.

🔗Link in bio to learn more about The Burnt Chef Project who are dedicated to eradicating mental health stigma in the hospitality, or to donate.

❤ Like this post to support VU's hard working students who are using their skills to make a positive difference as well as provide an exceptional culinary and guest experience.
