Myself and Tony Parkin have founded the dinners after I witnessed a homeless man in real distress and no one would help him.
I spoke to the man, bought him some food and gave him a spare pair of socks.
The homeless man spoke about Centerpoint which is the charity that Tony and I are donating 100% of the money raised to. The series is called Home charity and we already have 3 big dinners confirmed and I’m in the middle of organising the chefs for the February dinner.
We have received great surpport and have had some great sponsors such as kicking horse beer merchants, Oliver Harvey, Harwoods of London and Keltic seafare.
All of the Home Charity Series take place at Trinity, London - see dates and the chefs involved below.
The first dinner is on the 12th of November with chefs:
Tony Parkin (west house)
Aaron Potter (trinity)
John duffin (johns house)
Andrew wandaluss (texture)
Adam Reid (Adam Reid at the French)

So that’s it a lot of work has gone into these and we’re just trying to raise some money and awareness for Centerpoint, while serving a multitude of food styles and give the chefs chance to show off their cooking styles and bring a taste of their restaurant to London.
