On Monday 18th of March, some of Britain’s best chefs are teaming up for the first time in a bid to raise much-needed funds for the Bocuse d’Or UK Academy. The fundraising dinner will take place at Roganic London where a number of chefs will cook a specially created dish for the six-course dinner. Guests will also have the opportunity to bid for a range of exclusive prizes.

I will be cooking the main course and will be joined by Adam Byatt, Alyn Williams, Jonny Lake, John Williams and Tom Phillips, head chef at Restaurant Story and this year’s Bocuse d’Or candidate.

The Bocuse d’Or UK Academy was launched in October 2017 to support Team UK’s determination to reach the podium in the Bocuse d’Or, the world’s largest and most prestigious cooking competition. This year the UK took 10th place in the competition. As with any national team, we can’t compete successfully without sufficient funding and this has been proven by the previous winning teams. We have an incredible culinary scene in the UK with some of the world’s best craftsman in our kitchens. This dinner is not only an opportunity to showcase British talent but to help raise enough money to allow us to show the rest of the world too.

The event will begin at 7pm with a glass of “Exton Park with Simon Rogan Rosé NV”, followed by a delicious six course dinner. Tickets are priced at £200 per person, including wine pairings and non-alcoholic refreshments, places are very limited.
