Sports podge, now in year 8,
is a unique annual lunch,
dedicated to the passion and
personalities of sport

The idea is to bump into old
friends, forge new bonds - maybe
even strike the odd deal - but
mostly to fiercely enjoy oneself.

It’s like social networking but with
real shoulders to rub, plenty of wine
to drink and excellent food to eat
thanks to the IoD’s award winning
chef and kitchen team serving up an
exceptional four-course lunch

(Not forgetting the opportunity to
tackle an intimidating wall of bacon
butties in the IoD bar at tea time.)

Indeed, food and drink have always
been at the heart of these occasions,
hence the name “podge”.
