President’s Experience Dinner Tickets
Few evenings offer what this one does. On Monday 5 October, Claridge's plays host to an extraordinary gathering of culinary talent, assembled by President Clare Smyth in support of Bocuse d'Or Team UK — the country's finest representation at the world's most prestigious cooking competition.
Four ticket options are available, from individual seats to hosted tables, each offering access to a bespoke multi-course menu, Champagne reception, and a live auction of experiences unavailable to the general public. For those seeking something more intimate, the President's Experience offers a strictly limited pre-reception and private meet and greet with the chefs — a rare privilege reserved for just 24 guests.
