While tomorrow night sees Heston Blumenthal, John Campbell, Marcus Wareing, Angela Hartnett and Phil Howard strut their stuff at South Downs College in aid of The Ark, an arm of Hospitality Action (HA) which focuses on educating people in the industry about the dangers of alcohol dependency and drug misuse, May brings a different kind of fundraiser for the HA in the form of a once-in-a-lifetime Great British Menu dinner involving all the finalists from the 2008 BBC2 hit series.
How? Well Jason Atherton, head honcho at Gordon Ramsay's Maze restaurant in London, has pulled together all his Great British Menu mates to create a six-course meal for 300 people to be held at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on 18 May.
The multi-Michelin-starred dinner will include courses from Atherton, Nigel Haworth of Northcote Manor in Langho, Lancashire, Chris Horridge of Cliveden in Taplow, Berkshire, 2008 Catey Newcomer Tom Kitchin of the Kitchin in Leith, Danny Millar, head chef and director of Balloo House in Killinchy, Northern Ireland, Glynn Purnell of Purnell's, Birmingham, and Stephen Terry of the Hardwick in Abergavenny.
Tickets are a bargain at £120 and include Champagne and wine.
The chefs will also be offering themselves up for auction as people bid to win one of the seven chefs to cook a meal in their home.
All profits from the event will be donated to Hospitality Action.
To buy a ticket, email fundraising@hospitalityaction.org.uk or call 0870 351 0160.
