Matt Owens, chairman of Craft Guild of Chefs, commented: “Last year we have seen how our beloved hospitality industry was on the brink of collapse, however, like a Phoenix, it continued to show its resilience.

“The future is bright, and the industry shows clear signs of recovery, thanks to the hard work and commitment of all hospitality workers. As such, we are delighted to organise The Phoenix Dinner in partnership with the prestigious British Culinary Federation, to show our appreciation and support to this wonderful industry.

“It will be a fantastic opportunity to bring everyone together to celebrate, and we are confident that our guests will be proud knowing that they contributed to the recovery of hospitality through their donations.”
