Abstract
Seafood merchant, The Wright Brothers’s fish dish beat out meat and veg to win the annual Meat vs Fish vs Veg competition.

Raising more than £8,500 for industry charity Hospitality Action, 12 chefs in three teams competed at the Flat Iron Sqaure in front of more than 500 fine diners.

 

Jim O’Brien, director of The Change Group, the luxury hospitality recruiter that organises this annual event, said: “This event is a wonderful opportunity to showcase some of the best fine dining cuisine in London in a relaxed setting while also supporting such a remarkable charity.

 

“We are so grateful to all of the restaurants who took part, donating their time, ingredients and endless passion and enthusiasm to this very important cause.

 

“Congratulations to the Wright Brothers and Team Fish – here’s to an even bigger and better event next year!”

 

Produced by Michal Heins, the Wright brothers’ combination of Brixham ‘Black Gold’ cuttlefish croquettes with sriracha mayonnaise helped them win the battle of the chefs.

 

The best veg dish was Bistrot Bagatelle’s delicate gnocchi à la Parisienne de Nicolas, homemade Parisian gnocchi, new season asparagus, black truffle sauce and parmesan crisps.

 

The best meat dish was a braised lamb shoulder with fresh sour cream, black garlic puree and roast artichokes by The Frog Hoxton.
