These will be James Withers, chief executive of Scotland Food and Drink and Stuart Turner, events director of national events agency, Event Scotland.
They plan to highlight the wealth and potential of Scotland’s domestic produce and the significance of the year ahead.
The event will include will include a variety of ‘food or drink tasting stations’ available to guests in the venue’s Georgian ‘Great Hall’.
Each station will demonstrate the use of fresh, locally-sourced produce.
Amanda Brown, national accounts director for Scotland said: “At Sodexo Prestige, we have a strong commitment to using fresh, local and seasonal produce wherever possible.
“We feel it’s incredibly important to support Scotland’s Year of Food and Drink because it helps to promote the fantastic domestic produce and resources we have in Scotland.
“The bite-size element to the tasting stations gives people the option to try a varied and wide selection of dishes and also allows the Sodexo chefs the chance to demonstrate their talent and creativity.”
Dishes available to the 90 attendees on the evening will include, Stornoway Black and Haggis Roll, Dunsyre Blue and Pear Mousse and a rather quirky Autumn Vegetable Garden.
Brown continued: “The menu has been specially devised by our team of Executive Chefs here in Scotland and uses many different suppliers from across the country, such as, the Argyll Smokery in Dunoon for our fish and Braehead Foods, based in Kilmarnock, for charcuterie and meats.
“The evening has also been supported by Taste of Arran, a company famed for its chutneys, cheeses and oatcakes and Fresh Direct who are our suppliers for fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables.”
