London Rascals
A fromage à trois
A ménage à trois may sound rather exciting, if that’s your thing, but you know what sounds much more exciting? A fromage à trois. Three ways to enjoy cheese, that sounds like a real love affair to us. There’ll be a DIY mozzarella masterclass, aligot served with sausages and mash potato and entertainment from Rascal’s host, Mary Camemberry. It’s a cheese lover’s dream. Bring your partner…or partners…
