Welcome to A Hobbit's Feast Dinner, an imaginative, visually stimulating and DELICIOUS collaboration between Chef Tasha Sawyer (@chef_tasha_sawyer), and Sommelier/Cook Andrea Terpenkas (@good._.libations) that takes us to the Shire in Middle Earth.

The long table feast will consist of a bounty of comforting Middle Earth specialties in true Hobbit fashion. The menu is gluten-free (yes even the breads!) and can be vegetarian if requested in advance.

This pop-up dinner takes place in a secret location in East Vancouver. The address will be shared after ticket purchase. The closest intersection to the secret location is Renfrew Park, this is NOT the actual location.
