Spring Mayoral meal to conclude 2024/5 charity season
A spring dining experience in an acclaimed district restaurant will mark the final official 2024/5 Mayoral Charities event.

The Mayor of Winchester Cllr Russell Gordon-Smith will host the special evening on Tuesday 29 April in Rick Stein Winchester in support of his four chosen charities: Winchester Radio, St John’s Winchester, Hampshire History Trust, and Winchester Sea Cadets.
The 2025/6 Mayoral Charities will be announced by the incoming Mayor Cllr Sudhakar Achwal, whose mayor-making will take place in May.
Guests, who are welcome to arrive at Rick Stein Winchester from 6.30pm, are invited to choose from one of three main courses: Chicken katsu curry; coley fillets with pointed cabbage and a lemon butter sauce; and pasta alla trapanese (spaghetti, almond, basil and pecorino pesto).
There are four dessert options: raspberry bavarois; chocolate pave with vanilla ice cream; apple and rhubarb crumble with custard; and a selection of sorbets (mango, raspberry and lime).
Tickets are priced £42 (plus a booking fee) per person which also includes table drinking water, olives and bread, and a cup of tea or filter coffee after the meal.
Allergy information for each menu selection is included on the booking page.
The Mayor of Winchester Cllr Russell Gordon-Smith said: “This special event at Rick Stein Winchester promises to be a great evening out in one of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants. It is going to be the last Mayoral charity event of my year and we are pulling out all the stops to make it particularly special. I warmly welcome everyone to please come along and join us.”
