Enter their 'Design-a-dish' competition and get yourself on the menu
Do you like food? Prove it. Design a dish - a starter, main course or dessert and send it in to Charlotte's Place Restaurant.
As well as getting the chance to cook it to perfection with hands on advice from the Charlotte's Place kitchen team, you'll get to eat it with your nearest and dearest for free. Oh, and you'll also get the opportunity to tell everyone you know that you're the best amateur chef in Ealing.
And there's seconds... Ealing Today will be donning whites alongside you to report on your experience in the Charlotte's Place kitchen for posterity (and review the results...).
At our request Charlotte's Place Restaurant has agreed to extend the entry period for this fantastic competiton, with a new closing date set for the 22nd August. So you have three more weeks to enter if you haven't already.
Just email a description of your starter, main course or dessert to alex@charlottes.co.uk. "The winner will have the opportunity to create their dish with our chefs in the Charlotte's Place kitchen and then enjoy a fantastic dinner and drinks with a partner or friend on the house," said owner Alex Wretham.
They will also receive professional photographs of their visit to commemorate the day and be featured on the Ealing Today website.
