David Flatman says: “I’m very excited to be appearing at Hospitality Action’s Rugby Legends Dinner. Being part of a team, travelling the world working hard and then letting off steam together after a tough slog. Rugby and Restaurants have a lot in common! And I’m also hoping to trade some decent rugby stories for a perfect gravy recipe!”
