THE 10-course meal enjoyed by passengers aboard the ill-fated Titanic will be recreated for an end-of-summer party at a Worcestershire pub.

Staff from the Swan in Birlingham, near Pershore, have turned a copy of the original menu from the evening the ship went down into a buffet-style spread.

Partygoers will enjoy canapies with rum punch or sparkling cocktails on arrival followed by a choice of Duck a la Orange, seafood platter, lamb chops, roast beef and chateau and lyonnaise potatoes.

Trifle and autumn fruits creme brulee will be among the deserts along with cheese and mints.

Memorabilia from the “unsinkable” ship, which hit an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage in 1912, will be on display.

Landlord Nick Carson said guests would enjoy a realistic atmosphere with live music and an after dinner speech by local actor Bob Clarke before warning bells would be rung to signal the disaster.

He said: “All the people who come can jump into two lifeboats and have their photos taken and the money raised from that will go to the RNLI.

“We thought it would be much more fun for people to dress up properly.”

Tickets for the event on Thursday, September 4, cost £20 and are available by calling The Swan, Church Street, on 01386 750485.
