Blog. Winter Chef's Dinner Lottery in association with Agilysys.
September 25, 2025 | Author Sophie Dodsworth
In partnership with Agilysys, we're offering five lucky winners the chance to experience our sold-out flagship event, the Winter Chefs' Dinner, with an overnight stay for two at the five-star COMO Metropolitan London. This year's dinner, in association with GGM, will be held at one of London's most prestigious addresses, the brand-new The Chancery Rosewood.
Hosted by award-winning chef Sabrina Ghayour, the Winter Chefs’ Dinner is a key night in the hospitality calendar. This year’s dinner brings together eight of the UK’s most respected chefs, Daniel Clifford, Marius Dufay, Cherish Finden, Sabrina Gidda, Karan Gokani, Henry Harris, Tom Kerridge and Thuy Diem Pham, who will each create a course for one of two tasting menus served on the night.
Each winner of the lottery will receive:
- Two tickets to the Winter Chefs’ Dinner on Monday 27 October at The Chancery Rosewood, London
- An overnight stay for two at the five-star COMO Metropolitan London
Tickets cost just £10 and all proceeds will help Hospitality Action support people across the hospitality industry who are facing challenging times. You can enter here!
The lottery is open to anyone working in UK hospitality, from chefs and kitchen porters to receptionists, housekeepers and bar staff. We know that our gala events are often out of reach for many people working on the front line of our industry. This lottery is about opening the doors wider.
Kathrin Cockhill, Senior Business Development Manager at Agilysys, says: “Agilysys is proud to partner with Hospitality Action for the Winter Chefs' Dinner Lottery, supporting an event that celebrates the spirit and inclusivity of the hospitality industry. The lottery is a wonderful opportunity to give back to those in need while offering an unforgettable experience at the hospitality event of the year, all while helping to raise vital funds for our peers in the industry.”
It’s a unique opportunity designed to make the experience accessible for those who may not otherwise be able to attend a high-profile fundraising dinner. A celebration of our whole community and a chance to enjoy an extraordinary evening of food, entertainment and hospitality at its finest.
Gareth Banner, Group Managing Director at The Ned, says: "Last year we entered the Winter Chefs' Dinner Lottery on behalf of our team to reward our high performers with a truly unforgettable experience. At The Ned, we spent £1,200 on 120 tickets – a worthwhile investment and fantastic way for us to show appreciation for our staff while supporting a great cause. I encourage other hotels and hospitality businesses to do the same - buying tickets for the lottery gives you the chance to gift an incredible experience to your standout colleagues, all while making a positive impact on the industry."
The lottery will close on Wednesday 1 October at 12pm and is open to UK hospitality employees only, to give our hardworking colleagues a night off to enjoy this very special event. Entries are £10 each and multiple entries are allowed. To take part simply click here.
We'd like to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to Agilysys for making our Winter Chefs' Dinner Lottery possible.
