Also advertising a sergeant-at-arms who would "arrest and confine in the stocks any miscreants who threaten the evening's jollity", the dinner is part of a series of celebrations marking 150 years since gold was discovered in the area.
Promote Dunstan member Chris Cockroft said originally the dinner, to be held at Clyde's historic Oliver's restaurant, which dates back to the gold rush days, was only planned for tonight but it had been so popular that they decided to run it last night as well.
"Maybe it was the novelty ...it obviously appealed to people."
More than 80 people were fed last night and an even larger number have lined up for the sold-out "medieval-type" dinner tonight.
Following the dinner, celebrations continue with an interschools gold-panning competition which will culminate in panning championships in Arrowtown in October.
Promote Dunstan's year-long series of celebrations began with a garden party in January and so far locals have taken part in events such as a gambling saloon night, a ball and time capsule burials.
Forthcoming events include a goldfields-themed musical, a new wine release and the construction of a replica of the original Clyde Village by Clyde Primary School pupils.
