Four of Glasgow’s top chefs; Peter McKenna, chef-owner of The Gannet; Ajay Kumar, chef-owner of Swadish and Grilled; Gary Townsend, chef-owner of Elements; and Graeme Brown of Glaschu, are teaming up on Thursday 13th November to host a charity dinner for Glasgow based charity, Hospitality Health.

Held at Glaschu on Royal Exchange Square, the chefs will collaborate on a four-course menu that will infuse each of their individual styles, with seasonal, Scottish produce at its core. The chefs will take a course each, accompanied with bread by Freedom Bakery and complemented with paired wines from Entoria. The dinner will be followed by a raffle and auction, including prizes such as a Chef’s Table experience at Virgin Edinburgh for 8 guests, and a Clydeside Distillery tour and tasting, with all proceeds going to Hospitality Health.

Hospitality Health is a Scottish charity, formed in August 2018 to support staff in the world of hospitality. It is clear that, for several years, the industry has become more stressful for an extremely hard-working workforce. Hospitality Health takes action and helps those who need support, by providing wellbeing advice, Mental Health First Aid Training and signposting organisations that can help.

The menu:
Seasonal canapés
Champagne kindly provided by Perrier-Jouët
Sourdough and butter

Peter McKenna, The Gannet
Citrus and seaweed - cured halibut

Ajay Kumar, Swadish
BBQ Calcutta pork belly
caramelised spiced-pineapple - pickled shallots

Gary Townsend, Elements

Graeme Brown
Dark chocolate and manuka honey tarte
poached pear - white chocolate - honeycomb - lemon

Gordon McIntyre MBE, Chairman of Hospitality Health commented: “What a brilliant idea by the team at Glaschu, with an incredible line up of talented, award-winning chefs to raise funds for the charity. This is the cream of the crop of Glasgow and I know the dishes they will create will be awe inspiring. For the guests, this is an incredible opportunity to experience four for the best in Glasgow at one sitting! The funds raised will support staff in the industry on Mental Health First Aid courses. We are so grateful to be part of this memorable event in the city.”

The collaboration dinner will take place on Thursday 13th of November, and will cost £120 per person, with proceeds from each ticket going to Hospitality Health. This includes a Champagne reception at 7pm, before a four course dinner with paired wines. The auction and raffle will begin at 9:30pm, with carriages at 10:30pm.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of this event, dietary requirements or allergies cannot be catered for.
