A Great Gatsby party menu

The new film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby, has inspired us to create a swingin’ menu of our own to celebrate the glitz and glamour of a bygone era.

Candles-in-a-bottle, table, candelight, dinner party

The new film version of The Great Gatsby perfectly captures the excesses of the roaring twenties, from endless cocktail hours to over-the-top, glitzy parties. We’re celebrating this bygone era with a swingin’ menu of our own, complete with classic mint juleps and citrusy gin & tonics!
