Four of Scotland’s leading chefs came together for a sold-out charity dinner at Elements in Bearsden last month.
The one-night-only collaboration saw Conner Magee of Glaschu, Ajay Kumar of Swadish & Grilled, Gary Townsend of Elements, and Michelin-starred Graeme Cheevers of Loma & Unalome, create an exceptional menu celebrating seasonal Scottish produce.
The meal was accompanied by a Billecart-Salmon Champagne reception and expert wine pairings supported by l’Art du Vin.
Funds were raised through ticket sales, a charity raffle and an auction, to help Hospitality Health continue its work supporting the wellbeing of people working across Scotland’s hospitality industry through support services, Mental Health First Aid training and access to practical support.
Charity chairman, Gordon McIntyre MBE, said: “The generosity shown by everyone involved in this event was truly overwhelming. Our sincere thanks go to Conner, Ajay, Gary and Graeme for giving their time and talent so generously, to the fantastic team at Elements for hosting such a memorable evening and to every guest who supported the event.
“We are also incredibly grateful to l’Art du Vin for generously supporting the Champagne reception and wine pairings, Harvey & Brockless for providing the optional cheese course, and to everyone who donated raffle prizes and auction lots. Their generosity helped us maximise the funds raised for Hospitality Health.
“Most importantly, the evening demonstrated the incredible strength and camaraderie that exists across Scotland’s hospitality industry. The money raised will help us continue supporting the people who dedicate their careers to looking after others, and for that we are enormously thankful.”
The event followed last year’s successful inaugural collaboration dinner at Glaschu and once again brought together chefs, suppliers, guests and supporters from across the hospitality sector in support of Hospitality Health.
