Worcester Young(ish) Fine(ish) Dining Club

The Danesbury, 55 Sidbury, Worcester WR1 2HU, previously known as Food and Liquor.

For our first event I thought we would try The Danesbury in Sidbury.
Head Chef Harry Milbourne has created a fantastic looking menu, offering a wide range of delicious looking dishes, cooked with local ingredients where possible.

Whilst Thursday nights are their Steak Night, the full a la carte menu will still be available, with some tasty looking vegan and vegetarian options for the non-carnivores in the group.

Expect to pay a mimimum of £30, bringing cash might be handy when it comes to paying the bill at the end of the night. Though I expect they are capable of dealing with multiple card payments for the bill.

I'll book the table about a week before the event, or possibly earlier, depending on the numbers attending. I've spoken to the restaurant and they are fine with this arrangement. Our initial events will be held in the week as most places are not very busy during these times and reservation can be made much closer to the date. If this Dining Club grows and becomes more popular then we can look at dining events on weekends.

I look forward to seeing you there.
If you have any questions then please feel free to message me.

Club Rules
Members must be aged 55 or younger, any member that is obviously aged over 55 will be removed from the group. I apologise if this sounds harsh, but this group was set up to give those younger a chance to meet new people and try Worcestershire’s best eateries.
There are dining groups in the local area that are exclusively for people aged 50 or over, but not so for those younger, hence the creation of this group.

This is a dining club not a drinking club, participants must attend events to eat food and not just drink. Members who get drunk and are deliberately offensive will be removed from the group.

This is not a walk, pub crawl or social event in which you can put your name down to attend and if you didn’t show up there would be no consequences. Therefore, no-shows will be removed from the group unless there is a valid acceptable reason for the absence, for example if you were struck by lightning on the way to the event.
These rules are due to limited spaces and the need to book reservations, and for the consideration of other members and the establishments that we will be attending.

Hanbao, best burgers in Worcester? Let's find out shall we.

Established around 10 years ago, Hanbao have been consistent in providing high quality burgers, sides and cocktails to the Worcester food scene.
Beef, Chicken or Plant? Hanbao has you covered.

It's a nice chilled out vibe inside the restaurant, won't be too busy at all on a Wednesday night.
Would love to see you there, any questions feel free to DM me.

Note: the entrance to Hanbao is on Sansome Street. Not Forgate Street, that was the old entrance.

I will message all event attendees before the restaurant reservation is made to confirm your attendance, and afterwards with the reservation name and/or reference. As you can imagine, communication is key when organising such events.
Therefore I will need a reply in a timely fashion otherwise you may be removed. Time wasters, bots, fake profiles, scam accounts etc etc, will not be tolerated and will be removed and banned from the group.

Island, consistently ranked Worcester's top eatery, is a family owned restaurant serving up traditional Greek recipes and fresh seafood.
Originally from the Greek island of Corfu, the owner Alex and family would love to welcome us to their cosy and authentic feeling Greek Taverna on a cool September night.

If you've always been interested to try Island or Greek cuisine in general, then now is the time!
So come and join me and our fellow guests to try the very best food that Worcester has to offer.

The restaurant is usually quiet in the week but can be very busy on weekends.
Hence a Wednesday night for our first foray into Greek cuisine.

Would have been the very first event, but the family close the restaurant in August and travel back to Corfu for the month.

Island, 36 Broad Street, Worcester WR1 3NH
Note - the restaurant is just named Island, not The Island as it shows up on google maps when adding the location to this event page.

Be there or be hungry!

Let's take a culinary adventure to Japan, at Maneki Ramen under The Arches in Worcester's city centre.

Opening its doors in 2021, Maneki Ramen has brought a unique, Tokyo-inspired dining experience to Worcester. Established and led by chef Peter Dovaston, whose culinary journey has taken him from Tokyo to New York and China, the restaurant draws on his extensive experience and passion for Japanese cuisine.
Combining traditional Japanese influences with modern techniques and bold flavours, Peter has created an award-winning ramen restaurant that has become one of Worcester’s most distinctive and exciting places to eat.

Whether it’s Ramen, Katsu Curry, Yaki Soba or Donburi dishes, there’s something incredibly tempting about the menu at Maneki Ramen. Each dish looks packed with authentic Japanese-inspired flavours, with a selection of Asian-themed desserts providing the perfect sweet finish.
Vegan options are available.

Winner of the ARTA Japanese Restaurant of the Year award in 2023 and 2025.

So join me on a trip to enjoy the very best Japanese cuisine available in the UK, right here in the heart of Worcester.
Next door to The Burger Shop.

Following the success of Maneki Ramen in Worcester, Peter has since opened a second restaurant in Birmingham. However, it’s the original Maneki Ramen, situated under The Arches in Worcester’s city centre, that we’ll be visiting to tantalise our taste buds.

I look forward to seeing you there.
If you have any questions then please feel free to message me.
