For £130 per person, guests will be “wined, dined and entertained” with the five-course meal created and prepared by chefs including restaurateur and Saturday Morning Kitchen regular, Adam Byatt; Great British Menu winner Adam Simmonds; Brian Turner; Steve Penny, head pastry chef at Royal Lancaster London; and students from the homeless charity Centrepoint. Each will be assisted by students from University of West London, Lambeth, Bromley and Westminster Kingsway Catering College.
Before enjoying the live band, host and Clink graduate Michael Balogun will hand over to the group’s chef ambassador, Albert Roux, who will lead the ‘Santé du Chef’ - toast to the chef.
Chief executive Chris Moore said: “The Ball is a special highlight in the charity’s calendar. All the money raised on the night will help to continue supporting prisoners in turning their lives around for the better, and continue to fly the flag for prisoner rehabilitation through work-based hospitality training and vocational qualifications.”
