Hastings and Rye PSC and Hastings Friends of Al-Mawasi present:

Come Dine For Palestine

Saturday 26 November 7-10 pm at Ore Community Centre, 455 Old London Road, Hastings TN35 5BH

The evening will feature vegetarian Palestinian cuisine lovingly prepared by Palestinian Chef Momo with live music from composer and multi-instrumentalist Frank Moon, and a raffle.

Momo's bold, Middle Eastern dishes have been inspired by his Syrian and Palestinian heritage and we are thrilled he has designed a bespoke menu (below) for our event.

Frank Moon (oud, violin, flute, guitar, mandolin, dutar, percussion) played at our Palestine on the Pier event and the
Al-Mawasi benefit at the Goat Ledge.

Fundraiser for Al-Mawasi

The event is a fundraiser to support the health needs of the residents of Al Mawasi in Gaza. In the past year our sister group Hastings Friends of Al Mawasi has fostered twinning links with this town in southern Gaza, since we are both fishing towns.


However, the 15,000 residents of Al Mawasi are cut off from the world by a 15 year illegal siege. And the youthful population - most are under 30 years old - have endured years of trauma and hardship due to successive Israeli bombing campaigns. Through friendship links and classes we have got to know many residents, whose hope and resilience constantly inspire us, and we are holding this event to help them fix their medical centre.


There will be a selection of soft drinks on sale on the night and of course plenty of free water for all. Feel free to bring alcoholic drinks, but alcohol will not be for sale from our drinks stall.
