Here at Honkytonk, we pride ourselves on diversity. In our team with have wide range of cultures and nationalities from Austrian to Polish, and Malaysian to Jamaican.
So, on the 6th of August 2022 it is Jamaica’s Independence day. On this day in 1962 after 300 years of British rule, the union jack was ceremonially lowered, and the new Jamaican flag proudly hoisted aloft as Jamaica proudly declared itself as an independent state.
We have deep roots in Jamaica, with Fitz being raised in a west Indian culture, along with our head chef Donovan and our supervisor Milly proudly being mixed with Jamaican and British blood. The YOUNG ONES decided to throw a celebration party like we haven’t seen before.
The evening will be full of everything Jamaican.
The air will be full of the aroma of curry goat and jerk chicken, while your ears be kept pleased with the sound of reggae riddims. Don’t forget the homemade Rum punch and rum and raisin cheesecake.
The event will start at 1730 and finish at 2100, tickets are £25 and include:
2 hour Dj set from Billy Hannah
1 dish of either Curry Goat or Jerk Chicken
1 glass of our HonkyTonk Plantation Spiced Rum punch
Wine Tasting for Novices Thursday 28th July
Our second Wine Tasting for Novices event with Milly is back on Thursday 28th July 2022 at 6:30pm. If you’re looking for a place to start with wine and want something a little different to a formal wine tasting, this is the event for you! 5 wines and meze style nibbles will be available to try on the evening, at £25 per person.
We will discuss the basics of wine, how to properly taste and what to look for when pairing wine with food. The event will focus on wine specific to Milly’s recent travels: starting with an English sparkling, and following with 2 white wines and 2 red wines from Italy and Greece.
For anyone who came to the event last year, there will be new things to learn this time around and we’d love to see you back, as well as welcome some new faces to one of our most popular events to date!
