Amidst the thriving London restaurant scene, it’s easy to forget that not everyone in the world has enough food to eat. On 7 May, from 7pm, the Auction Against Hunger will be held on the roof of Shoreditch House in collaboration with humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger. Calling upon some of the restaurant industry’s biggest names, the event will raise money for some of the world’s most malnourished children.
Foodie fun + fabulous prizes
Dreamt up and hosted by son of restaurant critic royalty and co-founder of Islington’s Draper’s Arms, Ben Maschler, along with Soho House’s Nick Jones, it promises to be an evening of foodie fun and once in a lifetime fabulous prizes.
Think delectable donations…. from the likes of Angela Hartnett, Mark Hix, Alain Roux, Chris Corbin and Jeremy King, ETM Group, MEATliquor, Thomasina Miers, Cinnamon Kitchen, Paul Young, Seven Park Place, The River Cafe and Soho House.
A limited number of tickets will be available to the public at £75 each, with the lucky few in with a shot of laying their hands on money-can’t-buy lots including:
· The chance to dine with critic Jay Rayner while he reviews a restaurant
· A decadent supper for you and eight guests cooked by Michelin-starred Angela Hartnett in your home
· Salmon fishing in Ireland with eminent chef and restaurateur Mark Hix
