Chefs Table UK 2026

In March, Chefs Table UK returns to the iconic QEII Centre in Westminster to bring together an extraordinary collection of culinary talent for one night only. It’s a unique, grand dining extravaganza set in the heart of London, offering one of the most distinctive multi-Michelin-starred dining experiences out there.

Designed as an immersive dining experience, Chefs Table UK places creativity, interaction and storytelling at its core, making it a standout event for food lovers, Chef enthusiasts and those seeking a truly memorable luxury dining experience. It’s where you can interact with the chefs behind the menu, and what the dishes come to life in front of your very eyes!

What is the concept?

24 renowned chefs from across the UK come together in one room. Each chef will host six tables over the course of the evening, preparing six courses each. Each table will have a different chef per course, allowing guests to get up close and interact with six of their dedicated chefs over the course of the evening.

Thanks to its open, sociable layout, guests can form connections and spark conversation easily whilst watching the chefs hard at work - perfect for those seeking something a little different to entertain key clients and partners (it’s a business dinner that is guaranteed to impress!)
