Fumo Manchester hosts charity dinner for cancer charity

Restaurant group San Carlo held a four-course charity Supper Club dinner at Fumo in Manchester in late April, with all profits supporting Maggie’s, the UK cancer support charity.

The evening, titled A Taste of Puglia, took place in Fumo’s upstairs dining space and featured a menu inspired by the rustic flavours of Italy’s southern region.

Guests enjoyed focaccia with tomatoes and olives, nodini with capocollo, orecchiette with cime di rapa served from a Parmesan wheel, and roasted lamb cutlets.

The meal concluded with a traditional pasticciotto pugliese.

Marcello Distefano, CEO of San Carlo Group, said: “Maggie’s is an incredibly important charity, and we are proud to support their work through events like our Supper Club at Fumo in Manchester.

“It’s a fantastic way to bring people together for an unforgettable evening while raising money for a vital cause.”

Each course was paired with wine, and guests were welcomed with a cocktail on arrival.

Tickets were £95 per person, with all profits donated to Maggie’s.

Maggie’s provides free, expert support to people living with cancer, as well as their families and friends.

The charity operates a network of centres beside NHS hospitals, offering a calm, non-clinical environment where visitors can access guidance on treatment and side effects, emotional support from trained staff, and the opportunity to connect with others facing similar experiences.

Maggie’s relies entirely on voluntary donations and fundraising events to deliver its services.

Funds raised will help Maggie’s continue its work, offering care and guidance to individuals and families.
