We’re absolutely delighted to share the exciting news that The Chef’s Table has been named Best Fundraising Event at EVENTIT Scotland, The Scottish Event Awards.

Hosted at the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, one of Glasgow’s most iconic cultural landmarks, The Chef’s Table offers guests an unforgettable evening of exceptional food, superb entertainment and meaningful fundraising. Guests enjoy a spectacular five-course dinner, with each course prepared by some of the country’s most celebrated culinary talents, including Stephen McLaughlin, Head Chef at Restaurant Andrew Fairlie, Geoffrey Smeddle, Chef Proprietor at The Peat Inn, Adam Handling, Chef/Owner of the Adam Handling Restaurant Group, Graeme Cheevers, Chef Patron at Unalome, and Andrew Hamer, Managing Director of Wilde Thyme.
With outstanding service, a vibrant charity auction and the very best of Scotland’s larder on display, it’s a night that celebrates both generosity and excellence. Funds raised go towards brain cancer research through Beatson Cancer Charity - a cause especially close to the heart of Andrew Hamer, who lost both his sister Mary-Anne and his friend, chef Andrew Fairlie, to brain cancer.
