A Taste of Puglia: Fumo Manchester Hosts Exclusive Supper Club in Support of Maggie’s
An Evening of Exceptional Italian Dining for a Meaningful Cause
San Carlo is set to bring the flavours of Southern Italy to Manchester with an exclusive charity Supper Club at Fumo. “A Taste of Puglia” will take place on Thursday 30th April at 6:30pm, offering guests an intimate four-course dining experience inspired by one of Italy’s most celebrated culinary regions.
The event forms part of San Carlo’s ongoing support for Maggie’s, the charity providing free emotional, practical and social support to people living with cancer and their families. All profits from the evening will be donated directly to Maggie’s, giving diners the chance to enjoy an unforgettable meal while contributing to a vital cause.
A Curated Menu Inspired by Southern Italy
Hosted in Fumo’s elegant upstairs dining space, the Supper Club will showcase a menu rooted in the rich traditions of Puglian cuisine. Guests will enjoy dishes such as focaccia with tomatoes and olives, nodini with capocollo, orecchiette with cime di rapa served from a Parmesan wheel, roasted lamb cutlets with herbs and potatoes, and the classic Pasticciotto Pugliese to finish.
Perfect Pairings
Each course will be accompanied by expertly selected wines, with a welcome cocktail served on arrival. Tickets are priced at £95 per person, inclusive of wine pairings and the full dining experience.
Supporting Maggie’s
Maggie’s Centres, located alongside NHS hospitals, offer a warm and welcoming environment where visitors can access expert guidance, emotional support and a sense of community. Funds raised from the Supper Club will help Maggie’s continue its essential work supporting people affected by cancer.
