SOUTHAMPTON Football Club legend Francis Benali, has teamed up with renowned chef, Jay Geddes, to host a celebration of the club’s successful season this summer and raise money for charity.

A three-course dinner and river cruise on board Dutch-owned Princess Caroline will take guests on a tour of the south coast on Wednesday, July 29, with all profits donated to Cancer Research UK.

“I’m looking forward to welcoming fellow guests who’d like to join us in toasting a Southampton FC season that has surprised and delighted so many,” said Francis.

“Jay Geddes has masterminded the whole event – designing the menu and even choosing the Dutch-owned Princess Caroline, as a tribute to Ronald Koeman. Very importantly, Cancer Research UK will benefit from the proceeds - so it’s all in aid of a very worthy cause. It promises to be a wonderful night for all concerned.”

Guests will also have the chance to take part in a raffle, with the chance to own signed Saints goodies or a personal dining experience from Jay Geddes in their own homes.

The cruise is limited to just 100 guests and leaves Ocean Village at 6.30pm, during the much-anticipated America’s Cup, with plenty to watch and admire across The Solent.

Tickets for Come Dine With Me – For One Night Only are priced at £70 per person and include the cruise, a champagne reception, Jay Geddes’ three course menu and live music from Olu Shola, a hugely talented and accomplished singer, song writer and producer with a stunningly unique voice.
