In true Mile High style, diners will be greeted by Pan Am-inspired air hostesses and enjoy retro “check-in” cocktails and appetizers while listening to the sounds of Mile High’s DJ Airborne Division. At 7.30pm diners are summoned for boarding and will find themelves transported to Andalucía where a Spanish banquet awaits. The food will be cooked up by an experienced team of chefs who have worked the kitchens of popular haunts like Moro, Bocca Di Lupo and St John, and the menu is set to get taste buds tingling with modern takes on Spanish classics.
Tickets cost £65pp and includes two cocktails, gourmet bar snacks and a four-course meal. Tickets go on sale five weeks before the event and the top secret central London venue will be revealed after ticket purchase.
