Last year’s event at The Savoy raised over £45,000 from auction and raffle ticket sales. This year, with your help and generosity let’s see if we can do even better! This dinner is organised by Academy of Food & Wine Service, The Restaurant Association, and the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts to raise funds for education and training initiatives operated by each association. Over the years, funds from the dinner have been invested in programmes such as the Annual Awards of Excellence, RACA Apprenticeships, Master of Culinary Arts, Sommelier of The Year, Restaurant Manager of the Year, Young Chef Young Waiter and the Big Hospitality Conversation. Hosted by Henry Brosi (above), Executive Chef at The Dorchester, Martyn Nail, Executive Chef at Claridge’s, will lead the chef’s team including William Curley (Patissier – Chocolatier at William Curley), Steve Love MCA (Chef Proprietor, Loves Restaurant), Jeff Galvin MCA (Chef Patron, Galvin Restaurants) and Jeremy Ford MCA (Chef Director, Restaurant Associates) to create the menu for the evening. The ticket price includes a Champagne Moutard reception and a delicious four course meal with wines matched to each course by the Academy of Food & Wine Service.
