Head Chef Aisha Tanveer invites

@ Dove on Wed, 29th Jul 2026 @ 19:00 - 22:00

Food has an unparalleled power to bring people together, a philosophy that sits at the very core of Head Chef Aisha Tanveer invites at Dove. Gathering in Hammersmith this coming 29th July for A Taste of Punjab, you will experience a thoughtfully curated three-course menu celebrating Pakistan's vibrant culinary traditions. Tanveer will personally introduce each course, fostering a deeper connection between the kitchen and the guest.

The true magic of the evening lies in its mission to make a tangible difference. Built into the £68.90 ticket price is a £5 voluntary donation to the British Asian Trust, a charity championing education for future generations. 

Sports Quiz Night

@ Pavilion End on Wed, 30th Sep 2026 @ 18:00 - 21:00

The Pavilion End is serving up a spectacular midweek challenge. Located right in the heart of the City of London, this renowned sports pub is hosting an exhilarating evening dedicated entirely to sports fanatics.

Teams of up to six will go head-to-head through a fast-paced, challenging series of rounds covering everything from football and cricket to rugby, historic Olympic moments, and fringe sports. What makes this stand out on the capital's crowded quiz scene is the sheer scale of the rewards and the purpose behind it. The entry fee doubles as a donation to Special Olympics GB, and your ticket automatically bundles a free drink on the house to get your evening started smoothly.
