Taste of Tryall, the largest fund-raiser for the Tryall Fund, unfolded on Friday, January 20 at Tryall Beach Club, with chefs from the villas and the Tryall Club serving up sumptuous fare and of course their spin on traditional cuisine.

The event, from its inception in 2009, has always provided a space for chefs from the various villas and the club to display their creativity. Of course, the main artery of the event is its fund-raising. Through this vein funds are raised and channelled to various projects including the ‘Success by Six’ programme focusing on early childhood schools.

The Tryall Fund also sponsors the evening clinic at Sandy Bay Clinic, Hanover Infirmary through donations, as well as partnering with other charities for community development leading to the construction of the Hopewell Community Centre and the disbursement of scholarships for students. Under its scholarship programme the fund was able to award 276 students some $43.8m in 2022.

Guests enjoyed food including crispy pork belly, shrimp and plantain bites, sorrel and rum cheesecake, oxtail spring rolls, Dorito-crusted shrimp tempura and lamb and beef kofta.
