The Master Chefs of Great Britain (MCGB) held its 37th annual lunch at Edinburgh’s Prestonfield House to raise money for MND Scotland.

MCGB guests included Scottish Michelin starred chefs Stephen McLaughlin from Restaurant Andrew Fairlie; Martin Wishart from Restaurant Martin Wishart; Stuart Ralston from Aizle; and recent Scottish Michelin star awarded chef, Graeme Cheevers at Unalome, amongst others.

Executive head chef John McMahon presented a five-star menu using some of the finest, locally sourced, sustainable ingredients in Scotland, accompanied by fine wines and Scotch whisky. MND Scotland is the leading charity in providing care and support to people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

George McIvor, chairman of MCGB, said: “As chairman I was delighted Prestonfield engaged so generously with us to organise this outstanding event. The feedback we have had from our sponsors and business partners this year has been tremendous and we are really looking forward to working them all over the coming year to forge greater relationships that will allow the MCGB to meet its aims and objectives whilst promoting their products.”

Graham Singer, culinary director for Compass Scotland received the Outstanding Achievement Award for delivering COP26, along with The Peter Jukes Fellowship Award. James Thomson OBE received the Hospitality Industry Award.
