Former England rugby player David ‘Flats’ Flatman will entertain attendees at the charity dinner on 27 April 2020. The evening will also include a drinks reception and four-course meal prepared by four chefs.
Chris Eden from Gridleigh Park will prepare the starter and his menus support local Devonshire farmers and producers.
Guy Owen from St. Enodoc Hotel will make the fish course. Likewise Owen focuses on creating ‘inspiring dishes’ using sustainable and locally grown ingredients.
Paul Ainsworth from Paul Ainsworth at No.6, who appeared on BBC2’s Great British Menu in 2011, will create the main course. He has held a Michelin star since 2013 and in September 2016 he was awarded a fourth rosette by the AA.

The aim of the Rugby Legends Dinner is to raise money for Hospitality Action. The charity acts as a ‘safety net’ to help people in the hospitality industry who are struggling.
