Spring produce and paired craft beers made Concrete Playground readers particularly happy this month, as James Squire and Concrete Playground teamed up to put on a special Spring Banquet at The Crafty Squire — and we gave a group of lucky CP readers a seat at the table.
Competition winners sat down to a five-course meal custom-made by head chef Alan Fraser, each dish paired with a specific James Squire tipple, and guests heard from Alan and James Squire brand ambassadors on the night. Have a peruse through the gallery to see what went down (and here's an idea of the deliciousness that was served up).
