The Master Cutler Challenge 2014

 We are excited about the opportunity of raising money for Whirlow Hall Farm Trust and Sheffield Hospitals Charity and would like to record our exploits here.  So the mad, the hair brained and hopefully the successful ideas will all feature along with up-dates of the total amount raised.

Here’s a cheesey picture of our arrival at the Master Cutler launch event

Here’s what we are doing – we will be grateful for all your contributions, ideas for further money raising schemes and general moral support.

All the competitions and prizes are available to enter by visiting our shop at 249 Glossop Road or at the Technology Centre (Advanced Manufacturing  Park, Catcliffe) – you can also enter via email to ask@pjtaste.co.uk  Suggested donations are listed for each competition.  In addition a Virgin giving site is being set up for direct donations.

The Master Cutler Buffet

For the next six months we will be offering a special themed Master Cutler buffet to add to our range of delivered lunches.  We will donate £1 for every person who is served this buffet over the period of the challenge.  Crafted with inspiration from the heritage of Sheffield, our local and seasonal foods and from the traditions of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire.  See the menu here.

Our staff have thrown themselves at this so here are their plans:

Pat and Emily will be doing a car boot sale.
