The RAFYC is delighted to be working in partnership with Appetite Gourmet Cuisine led by Vicky Mansfield and her crew.
Appetite Gourmet Cuisine is an exciting new business that has a strong ethos of creating a fine food experience, always derived from finest ingredients sought out from local suppliers and combining them in the most delicious recipes influenced from Vicky's experience of food from her travels around the world.
Since joining the RAFYC Team in May 2011, Vicky has brought her passion and excitement to bear on the catering experience at the RAFYC much to the delight of her customers. Vicky's "Round the World" theme nights in combination with the legendary Club Happy Hour (now extended) from 18:00 to 20:00 have become quickly renowned for being the place to be in Hamble on a Friday night.
