Mashing it up for the day IT WAS back to the good old school days of the 1980s when lunch was prepared and served by members of a Hull programme for the long-term unemployed. There are currently two programmes running in the city supported by CLLD (Community-led Local Development) and the participants of one of them held their Café Day for more than 22 guests, including professionals from business and city organisations. The guests selected from a menu of tomato soup, lasagne, sausage and mash and vegetable curry before desserts of rice pudding, chocolate crunch or treacle sponge – with pink custard of course. Tables were laid out in rows, like a traditional canteen – with a set of school rules, which included ‘no elbows on the table’ and ‘no mobile phones’. A quiz was also prepared, to test guests’ memories of school day lessons. All at CatZero thanked hosts at the Minerva Masonic Hall, in Hull for providing the venue.
