NRB x Eat Well MCR Fundraising Dinner 2024

Monday the 11th of March saw the annual Northern Restaurant and Bar (NRB) x @eatwellmcr fundraising dinner held at the beautiful restaurant and bar Fenix. It’s probably our biggest fundraising event of the year, and everyone involved works unbelievably hard to create a beautiful and memorable evening that celebrates talent in hospitality. This year was our most successful yet, raising over £21,000! We can’t thank you all enough for your contribution.
