Five of Scotland’s most acclaimed chefs are collaborating on a one-off dining experience to raise funds for a community foodbank.
‘Mhor Food For Folk’ will take place at the Monachyle Mhor Hotel in the Trossachs on Sunday 26th January, and bring together Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers with multi-award-winning chefs Peter McKenna, of The Gannet, Tom Lewis of Mhor, Jay Ward of Partick Duck Club, and David Scott of Crabshakk.
Together, they will craft an exclusive feasting menu for the event, with each chef creating one course. All proceeds will go to the Drumchapel Food Bank, which provides a lifeline for individuals and families facing food insecurity in Glasgow.
‘Mhor Food For Folk’ will also feature live entertainment by artist Ryan Hannigan and his band Star Wheel Press, alongside a curated programme of guest interviews, poetry, tastings, and workshops. Award-winning wines from Gusbourne Estate will complement the dining experience.
Speaking about the initiative, chef Peter Mckenna said: “Food is a universal connector, and we believe it should never be out of reach for anyone.
“This event is our collective way of giving back and ensuring that the most vulnerable in our community have the support they need.”
Drumchapel Food Bank serves an average of 144 families per week. From low-income working families to those escaping domestic violence, asylum seekers, and individuals navigating benefits transitions, the food bank provides a critical lifeline.
Founded in 2010 by Liz Atkinson, the service operates independently, ensuring it remains focused solely on community needs. Unlike many one day a week food banks, Drumchapel Food Bank operates five days a week, reflecting the scale and urgency of the demand it seeks to meet.
With no government funding, the food bank relies entirely on donations from local businesses, individuals – and initiatives like Mhor Food For Folk.
