As anyone with a school-age child will be able to tell you, raising funds for a school is all down to the calibre of people you can persuade to sit on the event committee. So we're pretty impressed with the names down for The Soho Food Feast which is being held later this month to raise money for the Soho Parish Primary School's healthy eating initiative.
The committee members' list reads like a who's who of the food world with everyone from Fay Maschler and Mark Hix to Fergus Henderson and Eddie Hart doing their bit. Participating restaurants include Polpo, Polpetto, The Wright Brothers, Arbutus, Hix, St. John Hotel, Barrafina, Terroirs, Bocca di Lupo, The Modern Pantry and Meat Wagon.
The restaurants in question will be taking over St Anne's Garden on Wardour Street on Saturday, 25th June 2011 from 1-6pm, with chefs serving up signature dishes and house wines from stands throughout the garden and demonstrating recipes to cook at home.
There'll also be wine tastings with Trevor Gulliver(Fergus Henderson's business partner), children’s activities such as food art and a lucky dip, competitions and a raffle complete with fantastic prizes including meals, theatre and X Factor tickets, beauty treatments and lots more. We also hear there may be a cake baking competition and a special waiter's race.
