We have a double party bonanza in store for you courtesy of our dear friend Frank Haughton.

Spicy night out with the girls 

Talented chef Sofia Smith will run an Asian cookery course for up to ten people at Cocana Rivero.

sofia-nahl

British-born and of Irish-Malaysian heritage, Sofia is one of the few female chefs in Prague.

Sofia started her Prague career at the British Council and Angel Cafe. Her first restaurant, Angel restaurant, fast became one of the top modern Asian restaurants in Prague. Sofia’s work as executive chef at Le Patio and at The Sexy Curry Company makes her a hands-on and very experienced chef.

The evening will include welcome drinks, dinner, wine, laughter and after-dinner drinks.

Summer BBQ with Frank and some very glamorous helpers

Frank Haughton will organise a BBQ party for up to 30 guests. The party package will include:

  • All food, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits
