Nothing epitomised the successes of Action Against Hunger's special events more than the Fine Wine Auction where our superb chefs, supporters & volunteers helped us raise an incredible £700,000 in aid of its fight against hunger.
Each year, the event unites some of the UK’s top chefs to cook a fantastic bespoke meal for guests. Last year’s chefs included Michel Roux Jr. (Le Gavroche), Ken Hom (MEE Restaurant),
Paul Ainsworth (Paul Ainsworth at No 6) and
Ollie Dabbous (Dabbous).
The night was hosted by acclaimed actor Hugh Bonneville.

Michel Jr took over the world-famous restaurant of his father.
He also cooked with the renowned chef Pierre Koffman at his Chelsea restaurant La Tante Claire, reverting to the rank of Commis Chef to do so.
