The evening began with a champagne reception and the surprise “Chef Draw” when guests learned for the first time who would be cooking for them, the evening featured a four-course menu with matching wines.
The now famous Grand Auction was hosted by famed Sotheby’s auctioneer, Lord Harry Dalmeny, giving guests the chance to bid for their favourite chef to cook a bespoke dining experience in their home.
