Lord Sebastian Coe hosts a ‘Best of British’ dinner at our restaurant with the four semi finalists cooking for Olympic heroes Lord Coe, Dame Kelly Holmes and Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson. Our own Forman & Field Executive Chef Lloyd Hardwick was on hand to offer sage advice and support throughout.

On Sunday 1st August artist Isobel Manning ran The Drawing Olympics for children aged 4 to 14 years at Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery as part of the Hackney Wicked Art Festival 2010.

Young people were invited to come and work in the gallery space and make drawings of the Olympic Stadium on special wooden artist’s tiles. All of the drawings were entered into a competition which was judged by Isobel and Mr Lance Forman himself.

It was almost impossible to judge, as there really were so many fantastic drawings. In the end Gold, Silver and Bronze prizes were awarded to Tom Fior age 10, Reuben Brierley-Moyes age 8 and Maxine Dannatt age 12. Vouchers for Atlantis art supplies were given to the winners and the chosen drawings will be exhibited in Formans restaurant on Fish Island very soon.

The event was kindly sponsored by E. Abrahams & Co Ltd who provided the wooden tiles and the prizes.

Many thanks go to Lance Forman, William Chamberlain and Marc Ben-Nathan who made this wonderful event possible.

Gold - Tom Fior

Silver - Reuben Brierly-Moyes

Bronze - Maxine Dannatt
