A Norwich venue is transformed into a pop-up restaurant for special events in collaboration with top local chefs.

The Matthew Project is a local charity that empowers young people and adults to overcome drugs, alcohol and mental health issues.

Its DINE events take place at its centre in Oak Street and all proceeds go towards its life-saving work.

Next up on Wednesday, July 24 from 7pm to 10pm they will be joined by Jacob Emerson and Ellen Grove from The Steam Packet, who will serve a summer feasting-style menu. 

The members of the centre are offered the opportunity to volunteer at the event and gain experience.

A selection of non-alcoholic drinks will be available during the evening. 

Mr Emerson said: "We took over the Steam Packet in 2022, opening the restaurant upstairs in summer 2023, and we champion local Norfolk produce and farmers.

"We wanted to work with The Matthew Project because we believe they are doing an incredibly important job helping vulnerable people to get back on their feet."
