Blog. Will it be meat or fish in the second charity gourmet contest?

Five fanatical fish chefs and five meticulous meat chefs will be battling it out for the top dish prize at the second annual Meat V Fish contest taking place at Flat Iron Square, Bankside, on Thursday 23rd May, 18.00 – midnight, in aid of Hospitality Action.

Meat V Fish is a unique opportunity to sample 10 of London’s finest restaurants in one of the capital’s most vibrant outdoor eating venues for a fraction of the cost of an evening out. Organised by luxury hospitality recruitment agency, The Change Group, this is a must attend evening for anyone who loves trying a specially created selection of inspired new dishes that bring out the best in Britain’s renowned responsibly-sourced British meat and fish, crafted by some of the capital’s most celebrated chefs.

A delicate crab and samphire dish created by Anglo’s executive chef, Mark Jarvis, was the outright winner at the fiercely contested inaugural Meat V Fish in September 2017, and The Change Group donated all proceeds to the chosen charity, Action Against Hunger.

This year, chefs taking part in the 2018 challenge in the fish corner include, James Brown from Polpo, Joe Sharratt at The Other Naughty Piglets, , Michael Blizzard from Fuller’s The Half Moon, Richard Kirkwood from The Wright Brothers and Josh Niemiec from Leap, all already busily designing the perfect fish dish to win the top prize.

Meanwhile, in the meat corner, the contenders include Simon Cotterill from Hawksmoor, Zelman’s Olly Bird, Oliver Gladwin from Nutbourne Restaurant, Sam White from Hixter and Jenny Warner of The Thomas Cubitt, each vying to prove that meat is still top dog for the capital’s fine dining enthusiasts.

All proceeds from the evening will be donated by The Change Group to Hospitality Action.
