THE GRACE & Vine bar in Leamington is the latest restaurant to sign up for the annual ‘A Taste of Leamington’ gourmet fundraiser, where each of three courses is taken at a different venue at some of the town’s finest independent restaurants. Organised by Leamington Rotary Club, the event attracts 200 diners and starts with a drinks reception at All Saints Church before groups of diners are taken to their three selected restaurants. More than £20,000 has been raised by these dinners, half of which has gone to local Leamington charities and causes. This year’s beneficiaries will be Parkinsons UK and You Can Flourish, a Leamington charity offering one-to-one mentoring for girls dealing with anxiety, pressures and low self-esteem. Linda John, the immediate past president of Leamington Rotary Club said: “We are always really grateful to the restaurants that take part as they are a fundamental part of our fundraising efforts.
