Decadence and the art of partying have always gone hand in hand, scampering along in front of their cousins gluttony and greed. The art of hosting a perfect party has however been almost lost within a bar culture where music and fun come second to drink and over-crowding. |

With a twinkle in its eye, Feast is all about putting the finer ingredients and high jinks back into a night that you won't forget. Finally, a reason to go out again! The venue, an 18th Century gentleman's club in St James' Square (the In & Out Club), will play the elegant backdrop to a party where the magicians, showgirls and clairvoyants are as important as the food and cocktails. A banquet dinner from Tampopo is yours for £15 and there are boxes of 'disco noodles' available for a fiver (sure beats inhaling a kebab on the street). |

The feast in question will be devoured to a soundtrack that changes in every room from Studio 54 disco to street soul to Tom from Groove Armada's block party beats. Expect nothing except pleasure. Debauchery has never been so stylish or such a romp. A
