Maloneys Budgens is delighted to be teaming up once again with celebrity chef Giancarlo Caldesi to host their ninth seasonal lunch which will take place at Caldesi in Campagna, Bray on Friday 13th November at 12.30pm.

This is a great partnership and an extremely popular event that showcases how ingredients from the store can be created into delicious dishes to be enjoyed by all the family.

Giancarlo walks the Maloney’s Budgens stores in Ascot and devises an 8-course taster menu using many of the products available in-store. Vince and Dennis then donate the selected quality ingredients to enable Giancarlo and his team to serve a mouth-watering 8-course taster menu for an incredible £20 per head.

Said Giancarlo: “I want to treat customers to a wonderful lunch full of education and fun. I enjoy sharing my way of cooking with fresh, quality ingredients from Maloney’s Budgens, to show the journey from store to plate.”

Said Vince: “This is a winning formula as the numbers of guests continues to grow. Last time the restaurant was booked out for this lunch with over 60 guests; it’s great fun with a wonderful atmosphere.”

As one contented guest commented: “This is a lovely event, and another delicious meal!  We shall look forward very much to the next one!”
