Almost £700,000 was raised by diners in just two months in aid of StreetSmart, the charity as confirmed, with the funds set to support those experiencing homelessness.

In November and December last year, patrons at 512 restaurants generated £696,000 by asking for £1-per-table donations, with top-raiser Soho House Group drumming up £69,000 alone, while MEATliquour was able to raise £28,000 to add to the grand total.
