A Winter Chef's Dinner

Eight of London’s top chefs will come together for one night only to deliver an exclusive four course gastronomic feast to raise vital funds to support those in the hospitality industry who are facing crisis.
As an industry, hospitality has been hammered by the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. Thousands of businesses have closed, placing tens of thousands of livelihoods at risk. Our support is needed now more than ever before.
Held in the stylish grand Ballroom at five-star Nobu Hotel London Portman Square, all guests will be treated to a canapé and drinks reception and a four-course meal with wine throughout, whilst having the opportunity to meet our chefs.

The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway – the story of America then, as told by America now.
